Welcome, to the website of
the Bernardo de Gálvez
Chapter #1 for 2025. We are glad you found us.
If you have an ancestor who contributed to the War of American Independence
we invite you to attend our next meeting FEBRUARY 15, see below.
Our website serves 2 purposes:
First, we are the official on-line informational
source for members of the Galveston, Texas area Chapter of SAR.
Visitors can access information about local SAR activities and meetings,
contact other members, and keep up to date on all chapter events.
Second, in keeping with the goals and
obectives set out by the
National Society, this web site is designed "to
perpetuate the memory of those who, by their services or sacrifices
during the war of the American Revolution, achieved the Independence
of the American People."
What is the SAR Organization about?
The SAR is an historical, educational, and patriotic
non-profit, United States 501(c)3, corporation that seeks to maintain and extend:
- the institutions of American freedom
- an appreciation for true patriotism
- a respect for our national symbols
- the value of American citizenship
- the unifying force of e pluribus unum
that has created, from the people of many nations,
one nation and one people.
We do this by perpetuating the stories of patriotism, courage,
sacrifice, tragedy, and triumph of the men who achieved the independence of the
American people in the belief that these stories are universal ones of man's
eternal struggle against tyranny, relevant to all time, and will inspire and
strengthen each succeeding generation as it too is called upon to defend our
freedoms on the battlefield and in our public institutions.
The Chapter normally meets the third Saturday of every month with
the exception of September and December.
In September we gather with the members of the George Washington
Chapter of the DAR to commorate the Constitution of the United States.
December corresponds to the anniversary of our founding in 1896.
Guests are welcome. Please join us. We gather together at
Kelley's Family Restaurant in LaMarque located at 4604 Gulf Fwy,
La Marque, on the east side of I45 at FM 1765
on FEBRUARY 15 at 10:30 AM with the meeting
beginning at 11.
Our 2025 officers will be installed at this
meeting after which members will retire to Galveston to participate
in the Dickens on the Strand parade.
Contact our President Billy Mayo
if you plan on attending, or for more information.
