President General's Project

The 100 year old DAR Library lay light at DAR Headquarters has become seriously deteriorated and requires an extensive and immediate restoration. This webpage provides information and updates, along with photos and videos, to keep the membership and public abreast of the DAR Library Lay Light Restoration Campaign.

For more information on how you can help support this approximately $1.6 million lay light restoration campaign, please contact 1-800-449-1776 or development@dar.org or visit the DAR Online Donation page to show your support of the campaign.
