At the November chapter meeting, Chief Red Jacket members and guests enjoyed fellowship and an informative program. Virginia Brickell, a member of the DAR Speakers Staff, spoke on the proper use of DAR insignia, pins, and sashes. The official insignia, which was patented in 1891, is a gold wheel that is banded with the deep blue signature color of the DAR, stars on each of the 13 wheel spokes representing the original 13 colonies, and a platinum or white gold distaff.
