The Colonel Augustin de la Balme DAR Chapter held their annual “Good Citizens Recognition Tea” on February 14, 2010, to recognize three young women.
Held at the Peabody Public Library in Columbia City, the event honored Whitley County's 2010 DAR Good Citizens, including Danielle Hartmann of Churubusco High School, Abigail Chambers of Columbia City High School and Stephanie Weigold of Whitko High School. Weigold was selected as the Whitley County DAR Good Citizen of the Year.
Guests included Danielle Hartmann and her parents, Michael and Shawn Hartmann; Abigail Chambers and her parents, Nick and Jill Chambers; and Stephanie Weigold and her parents, Mike and Tania Weigold.
Chapter Regent Charlotte Blair shared the history of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the chapter located here in Whitley County. She then presented each young woman with an envelope containing a certificate acknowledging this award, a copy of the US Constitution, the flag code, a copy of the 2010 Whitley County Calendar compiled by the Chapter and a monetary award.
During the ceremony, each young woman also received a DAR Good Citizen’s pin which was pinned on by their mother.
Refreshments were served highlighted with a cake decorated with the DAR emblem and “85” marking the 85th anniversary of the Colonel Augustin de la Balme DAR Chapter.
