We sponsor the Timothy Hatch Society of the C.A.R.
Children of the American Revolution, also known as C.A.R., is the patriotic children's service organization that is similar to, though separate from, its parent groups, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution. A child does not have to have parents, grandparents, aunts, or uncles who belong to either adult group, though many do. A DAR and/or SAR chapter usually sponsors a C.A.R. society. John Bell Chapter, NSDAR, sponsors the Timothy Hatch Society, C.A.R. Timothy Hatch was a child who served in the patriot army.
What do Timothy Hatch members do? Because the ages and location of Timothy Hatch members are so varied, the society is organized in an independent project format. Members may choose from a large list of activities on the national, state, local, family, and personal level, to give service to others, to increase their knowledge and abilities, and to have fun. Members are encouraged to report these activities to their senior president, a member of John Bell Chapter, NSDAR, to be eligible to be chosen as Timothy Hatch Member of the Year and receive a prize and recognition from our chapter. In short, Timothy Hatch is designed to help its members grow into knowledgeable, contributing, patriotic adults, while enjoying themselves.
Timothy Hatch Society, C.A.R., members are active as volunteers at Fort Winnebago Surgeons Quarters as well as participating in John Bell Chapter, NSDAR, activities. Timothy Hatch is especially proud that three of its previous members have been State Presidents and the current State President is a member of Timothy Hatch.
Members are not required to attend meetings, though there are meetings, including a five-state district convention.
