The Prescott Chapter awarded to Joyce M. Wilson the prestigious Martha Washington Award and Certificate at the annual joint SAR/DAR luncheon held November 17, 2007 at the St. Michael's Hotel and Ballroom in Prescott.  John Thorne, SAR Chapter President, noted that this award is granted to those DAR members who refer and assist the successful application of five new SAR members.  Wilson, member of the General George Crook Chapter of DAR, counts among those new members her husband, Bert, and her brother Roger Mortenson, Bill Dodge, Don Henry, and Ben Schmid, all active members of the Prescott SAR Chapter.

The Prescott SAR Chapter Color Guard participated in the 2007 July 4 parade in downtown Prescott.  After the parade the Chapter hosted its annual Ice Cream Social to benefit a local charity.  It was held at Las Fuentes Retirement Center, and included the outstanding music of the Arizona Old Time Fiddler's Band.  The proceeds this year were presented to Neighbor to Neighbor, which provides support services to elders, disabled, and their families to assist in maintaining their independence, dignity, and quality of life.  Shown to the left in the photo is Richard Hothem, Program Director, receiving the contribution from John Thorne, Chapter President.

The Prescott Chapter Color Guard took first place in the Patriotic category at the Prescott Veterans Day on November, 11, 2006.  As previous, they were wearing the uniforms of the Continental Navy.
