ABOUT US

• Judge Lynn is one of only two District of Columbia DAR Chapter that meet on a weeknight, usually the first Monday of the month.  Visitors are welcome!

• Chapter members are women of all ages, representing a diversity of professions, talents, and interests.

• Our meetings begin with refreshments and a social time for getting acquainted.  Our program topics are varied: a speaker, a book discussion (“1776” in the spring of 2006), our annual gathering of comfort items for veterans at the VA Hospital in DC, and our February luncheon (the 100^th birthday of Judge Lynn Chapter is in 2008).

• Please contact us if you would like more information about our meeting schedule and directions.  We’ll be happy to answer your questions!

ABOUT JUDGE LYNN

• Judge David Lynn held his commission under King George of England and was one of the twelve judges who, on November 23, 1765, decided that before the English Stamp Act would be recognized by the Courts of Maryland the Courts must be officially notified of the passage of that Act.  In memory of this courageous stand, which was an act of treason against the English Crown, and said to be one of the first of the various actions against England which resulted in the revolt of the Colonists, a large bronze tablet has been erected in the Courthouse at Frederick, Maryland by the DAR in 1904.
