Dear Daughters:

SUPPLEMENT ISSUE

National Board of Management Meeting in Washington, D. C.

This is a supplement to the newsletter. Several things have

occurred since the publishing of our February newsletter the first

of the month. We are excited to announce that the National Chair for DAR

Service for Veterans Suzanne Earing managed to squeeze in time

to visit Oklahoma Daughters with her arrival mid-afternoon Thursday during conference. She’ll

be present for our Thursday evening banquet and part of Friday with her departure late

afternoon Friday. Her picture and bio are on page 2.

Many of you enjoyed meeting and talking with Denise VanBuren

last August during the OSDAR Workshop. Most marveled at how

she could be a Vice-president of a large company in New York

professionally; sits on numerous boards; edit the award-winning

DAR American Spirit Magazine, and manage the Organizing Secretary General’s Office at

NSDAR. She shared how she manages jugging so many roles during a leadership seminar

entitled “Organize and Prioritize to Maximize”. It contained simple tips to help better manage

time and improve productivity.

Two books she recommended for reading: “Getting Things Done” by David Allen and “Tipping Points” by Malcolm Gladwell. Additionally, she shared some of her calendar pages and five apps she uses to organize her life. She utilizes these to get her projects completed in a timely manner; and time for her family life. They are:

♦ Astrid – Pre-set to do lists

♦ Remember the Milk – Reminders

♦ Toodledo – How to organize a group to do list

♦ Wunderlist – May be the best group task management app and allows a person to trace

across a project; great for project management

♦ Doodle—A scheduler and powerful to keeping on top of your “to do” list; allows person

to feel empowered to customize the app for managing

IT’S HISTORY IN A BOX - IT’S THE PAST ON WHEELS

PORTABLE EDUCATION PROGRAM

The DAR Museum announced three portable edu-

cation programs available now to enhance your

targeted for fourth grade students. Each PEP comes with lesson

plans and accompanying objects in a traveling trunk.

NEW PRODUCTS

IN

DAR

STORE

Corresponding Secretary General Karon Jarrad announced several

new items expected soon in the DAR Store. ♦ DAR Opoly --like Monopoly only it is about DAR—need to get

your name on the list at the DAR Store as only 250 were made

for this first edition

♦ DAR Tartan

♦ DAR Challenge Coin (2 sided) has arrived. This will make a

NSDAR Library Wish List

The DAR Library generates a list of books

they desire and place it online at http://

ww.dar.org/giving. Last year, OK Daughters

donated and graciously granted the NSDAR

Library Wish List twice. Bridget Wiggins, DAR Library Acquisition

Office ordered six books relating to Oklahoma history. Recently,

she placed six titles on the Oklahoma list of books that may be

designated as donations. This is a wonderful tradition to donate a

book in honor of some member “who goes the extra mile” or in

memory of a member. If you are aware of any historical or genealogical societies in

Oklahoma that have recent publications that DAR Library does not

own, you may send an e-mail to Bridget Wiggins or check the DAR

Library’s online catalog to determine if the book is already a part of

the library. If the book is not a part of the collection and it fits the

collecting criteria, a prospective donor may submit a Library Gift

approval and Donation Form to the Library Office for review. If the

submission is given approval, the book may be sent in as a

donation. The site for the form is:

http://www.dar.org/members/forms-publication.
