Our Chapter will be chartered in a ceremony attended by Peter K. Goebel, President of the Empire Chapter of the SAR and by Jonathan E. Goebel President of our hosting chapter, the Saratoga Battle Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution

The event will be held from 11 am to 1:30 pm on Saturday, Aprit 21st at the Elks-Plattsburgh Lodge No.621 at 56 Cumberland Avenue in Plattsburgh, NY. A buffet lunch will be served, and Historian David Glenn will be our after-lunch speaker.

Our aims are educational, historical and patriotic. We also offer assistance in filling out forms and doing research to enable you to become a certified member of the Valcour Battle Chapter.
