Here is the link (https://www.youtube.com/DARCongressOnline/live) that allows you to bypass the members-only login requirement and take part in some of the official events through this coming Sunday the 28th. I just watched an hour and twenty minutes that was actually very interesting considering it was all recorded earlier. This is the first-ever virtual national convention of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Tonight's presentation highlighted much of what the DAR actually does (vs what many people think they do), in particular their dedication over the past 2-3 decades to expanding public awareness of the diversity of the American participants in the Revolutionary War. If you are not familiar with this, start by checking out the Forgotten Patriots section of their website. The entire 700+ page guide to researching Native American and African-American ancestors who took part in the war is there for the free downloading. Whether you are a member or not, or a genealogist or not, you are welcome to dheck out the DAR this Wed-Sat at 7 pm EDT (4 pm AZ time) and Saturday at 1 pm EDT and Sunday at 10:30 am EDT by clicking on the link above. (Note: If you are a member go to the members-only section, search for "continental congress 2020" and click on the schedule to see presentations that are upcoming or that you missed. Most are on YouTube and can be viewed any time thanks to the posted link. The site is a bit sluggish this week due to the volume. I recommend today's presentations on finding a female patriot and finding qualifying nonmilitary service.)
