The John Guild Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution met on March 21, 2023 at Kimbeland Country Club in Jackson. Chapter Community Service Award Chair Missy Janzow presented member Earlene Sokolowski with a pin and certificate from the National Society for her dedication to serving the local community. Sokolowski has volunteered at Southeast Hospital for 20 years, and has accumulated more than 6203 hours of service.

Members of the chapter reaffirmed their commitment to coordinating the effort to supply wreaths for each veteran resting in the City Cemetery and Russell Heights Cemetery through Wreaths Across America. Community support is needed for the program to remain successful.
