The Chairman would administer SAR Programs that are encourage and award students sponsored by our Alexander Hodge Chapter.
The George S. and Stella M. Knight Essay Contest is for local high school students and will commence this Fall. Students submit an 800-1200-word essay, based upon original research dealing with a topic that shaped American history.
It can be on a person, event, philosophy or ideal associated to the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence, or the framing of the United States Constitution.
Local winners will be submitted to the State SAR competition and then those winners will be submitted to the National SAR competition. Submissions from our local students will be judged by Alexander Hodge members Randall Hankla and Dennis Giuffre.
State Competition Awards: 1st place is $3500; 2nd place is $1500 and 3rd place is $500.
National Competition Awards: 1st place is $6000; 2nd place is $2500 and 3rd place is $1,000.
We need a Chairman to oversee and administer this worthwhile Program.
Anyone interested contact our President, Carl Hill.
