Barrington H.S. program honors Signal Hill Chapter NSDAR of Barrington

Ray Piagentini of Barrington High School's Brother's Keeper program recently attended the Signal Hill Chapter, NSDAR, March meeting to report on his recent visits to Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota.

After his report, Piagentini presented chapter members with a H.A.W.K. (Honoring Ancient Wisdom and Knowledge) certificate of recognition of support, along with a blanket from the tribe. In turn, Signal Hill provided Piagentini with $1,000 in Wal-Mart gift cards to present to the reservation residents when he next visits in the summer.

Signal Hill Chapter of Barrington is a long time supporter of the Brother's Keeper program under Piagentini's direction, providing periodic donations of clothing, household goods and gift cards for those who reside on the Crow Creek Reservation.

Signal Hill raises funds throughout the year and distributes to 501(c)(3) organizations, whose missions support DAR's mission of education, historic preservation, patriotism, conservation and Native American issues.

The chapter was founded in 1972, and is dedicated to preserving history, promoting patriotism, conservation and historic awareness in our community and securing America's future through better education for children. Membership is established through approval of documentation of direct lineage from an American Revolutionary War Patriot.
