Wright Administration Theme and ScriptureThe theme for this administration, symbolized by three intertwined circles, is: "Preserve the Past,
Enhance the Present, Invest in the Future." The core values of the twelve Executive Officers are to interact withintegrity, honesty accompanied by kindness, loyalty, and courtesy, respect for one another, and with a sense of humor and the ability to have fun.
The Goals of the Wright Administration are to: Strengthen the Membership Improve Financial Stability Increase Awareness of DAR Objectives and Programs
Wright Administration Scriptures:"And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." -- I Corinthians 13:13"...and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God." -- Micah 6:8
President General's ProjectIn 2010 an update of the extensive conservation assessment done in 2005 of our headquarters identified
the next phases of repairs and restoration work needing to be accomplished on our beautiful complex of three buildings over the next six years. The President General's Project, "Preserve the Past, Enhance the Present,Invest in the Future," was approved by the National Board of Management on July 11, 2010, and will be ratified
by Congress in 2011. Work will begin immediately on addressing these additional needs at our NSDAR national headquarters in Washington, D.C.In addition to this historic preservation our own buildings, securing new members and education and
training for members and current leaders will comprise a second facet of the President Generals Project. Thethird goal of the administration, to increase awareness of DAR objectives and programs, will provide grants inlocal communities to support initiatives that promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism.

THE BOOK NOOK: The Brother Gardeners: Botany, Empire and Obsession , by Andrea Wulf A book written about the passion and determination of a small group of eighteenth
century naturalists who made Britain a nation of gardeners and center of thehorticultural world. A garden revolution that took place during the AmericanRevolution.
In 1733, an American farmer, John Bartram sent seeds, roots, and tender plantsfrom the American colonies at the request of a successful London cloth merchant, Peter Collinson. These were American plants that were not found in Britain. These trees,shrubs and flowers were to transform Britain into what we think of it today, a gardennation.
The friendship of these two men that developed and persisted over 35 years duringthe stormy period of the American Revolution is as intriguing as any spy novel. Wulf gives an interesting and provocative portrayal of such botany greats such as Carl
Linnaeus, Joseph Bank and Daniel Solander. Their adventures and escapades make this book a great summer read. One I couldnt put down!
Andrea Wulf was born in India and moved to Germany as a child. She trained as a design historian at Londons Royal College of Art.She regularly appears on BBC Television and radio. She is an exceptionally intelligent writer.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others first seriously proposedwomens right to vote at Seneca Falls, N.Y., on July 19, 1848. Prior to thistime, Susan B. Anthony was active in the womens temperance movement.When she met Stanton in 1851, they joined forces and worked together over the next half of the century. Although they both died before their goalwas reached, they lived long enough to see significant progress and were
primarily responsible for the ultimate success.Carrie Chapman Catt, founder and early leader of the League of
Women Voters, younger than Anthony and Stanton, entered the strugglelater and became a leader in the suffragist movement that helped lead it to victory. On August 26, 1920, the
Secretary of State signed the proclamation enacting the 19th amendment giving womenthe right to vote.
In honor of the 90th anniversary of the 19th amendment, the YWCA Metro St.Louis is hosting a Womens Equality Day Rally on Thursday, August 26, 2010 at thePhyllis Wheatley Heritage Center, 2711 Locust, St. Louis, MO 63103, just west of Jefferson Avenue.
