The Cofachique Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution The Cofachique Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution met Saturday, January 17, 2026. Those attending were Kathy Blair, Marcia Longberg, Deb Jackson, Nancy Castellucci, Karen Gilpin and Judy Arbeiter. Guests were Janie Works, Krista Dalrymple and Sandra Dalrymple. Regent Karen led the opening exercises. The chapter voted to contribute $7.50 per member to the DAR President General’s annual project. The chapter donated $75.00 to Your Community Foundation match campaign, designated for the Iola Senior Center thrift store.
Karen announced that America’s 250th birthday anniversary traveling exhibit will be in Iola from October 9-22, 2026 in the Mary Martin Art Gallery of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.
Chapter Regent Karen presented the Certificate for the DAR Outstanding Community Volunteer to Janie Works for her work in establishing a much-needed daycare in Humboldt, for her tireless efforts with local recycling programs and for Janie’s and husband Joe’s development of the Works Family Foundation offering scholarships to Humboldt high school graduates.
Kathy Blair presented a marvelous program on Quilting Through the Ages complete with pictures of the many quilt patterns, explaining the types of quilts and tips on storing quilts such as in a cotton pillowcase but never in plastic. She explained the excellent documentation provided by Colonial Williamsburg such as plain sewing and fancy sewing and the source of the word “spinster”--a single, older woman who spun thread/yarn for income.
Our next meeting will be February 21st at 10:00 a.m. at the Humboldt Public Library.
