An annual affair of the organization was a colonial tea given by Miss Martha Townsend during the holidays. The organization sponsored the awarding of a historical medal each year to the pupil in the local school having the highest standing in U.S. history.
In 1933 owing to the fact that most of the members had become non-resident and there were not enough members to make up a quorum, the monthly meeting was discontinued. The chapter adjourned in good standing with the national organization and may resume their meetings whenever the required number of resident members make this possible. Miss Lena Brady was regent when the group discontinued meeting.
