Watch Puc Puggy Chapter's "Butterfly Effect"
Puc Puggy Regent Sylvia Walden has chosen "The Butterfly Effect" as her motto for her 2023-2025 administration. To best understand the motto, read her own words:
Puc Puggy Staffs Presidential Preference Primary
March has been a busy month for the Puc Puggy Chapter. On March 19, 2024, eight chapter members and one HODAR (Husband of DAR not pictured) staffed the Sumter County Princinct 106 at the Canal Street Recreation Center for the Presidential Preference Primary. As volunteers of a charitable organization, the "salaries" paid to election workers will go to Puc Puggy for its many charitable projects. It was a long day - 5:45 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. - but there was much commeraderie and lots of laughs. Seen here are the Sumter Office of Elections clerk (seated) and our Deputy Clerk.

Celebrate Everything Irish
The Puc Puggy Chapter NSDAR and the Celtic Villages Show Band hosted "Celebrate Everything Irish” at the Rohan Recreation Center on St. Patrick's Day, Sunday, March 17, 2024. The event included all Irish music, dancing, and the history of Irish patriots who served in the American Revolution. In all 200 Irish and wish-I-were-Irish Villagers attended this fun-filled evening. There was a door prize, 50/50 raffle, and basket drawings.

Annual Lineage Research Workshop
The United States stands on the eve of a grand anniversary: the 250th Birthday of the USA in 2026! To encourage prospective members to join DAR by helping them find a Revolutionary War ancestor who helped us gain our independence, members of the Puc Puggy Chapter hosted a Lineage Research Workshop for the public at the Belvedere Library in The Villages on Saturday, March 2, 2024. Ten people attended, and we now have seven new prospective members as a result.
