Hawaii State Organization

ABOUT HAWAII STATE ORGANIZATION
March 2, 1916, is when the Hawaii State Organization, NSDAR, Territory of Hawaii, was organized. Hawaii Daughters have, with enthusiastic pride, promoted patriotism, historic preservation, and education, serving “God, Home, and Country.” In the 1920s, Hawaii Daughters were especially appreciative of the cultural exchange and enriching interaction that were brought to them by the “unusual number of visiting Daughters.” The spirit of aloha has not changed.
