Bend woman named Oregon DAR leader

Alice Miles of Bend recently was named as state regent for the Oregon State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Miles was installed as state regent last week at the DAR’s 125th Continental Congress in Washington, DC. She is a past regent of the Bend Chapter of DAR and has held previous state offices.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism. Its members are descended from the patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War.

With more than 177,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations. DAR members are committed to volunteer service, having served more than 12.5 million hours in communities throughout the world during the past three years.
