I have been to New York City and Niagara Falls, but the area of New York around Finger Lakes in the middle of the state is a beautiful agricultural region famous for wines and also where Women’s Suffrage began in nearby Seneca, NY. The New York Daughters made me feel welcome and at home by having me judge a “cookie contest.” Tough duty, but someone had to do it!
- President General Ann Dillon
The New York State Conference convened in Rochester, New York, September 21 to 23, 2018. The New York Daughters were so pleased to have as our guest President General Ann Turner Dillon as well as visiting State Regents Leslie Miller, Kentucky; Elizabeth (Liz) Hotchkiss, Maine; Cynthia McNamara, Mississippi; and Judith Surber, Virginia. The theme of this Conference was Patriotism and the motto “Pro Liberate” which is the motto found on the State Regent’s Family Crest. Pages from New York and across the country cared for our guests. Encouraging these Juniors/Pages to participate and to be able provide funds for them is one facet of my State Regent’s Project.
