HR151: HR151 Archibald Bulloch Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution; 61st anniversary; recognize

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a change to state law. It recounts the founding of Georgia, the history of Bulloch County, and the formation of the Archibald Bulloch Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution on February 29, 1964, listing its 17 charter members. The resolution formally commends the chapter for more than six decades of work supporting historic preservation, education, and patriotism, including helping women research genealogy tied to American Revolutionary War service. It recognizes the chapter's 61st anniversary alongside Georgia Day, which the chapter will mark with a luncheon in Statesboro on February 13, 2025. The Clerk of the House is directed to send a copy of the resolution to the chapter.
