A Golden Acorn is defined as any member up to the age of 45 who joined the National Society prior to her 36th birthday. These members have the privilege of serving as Pages at State and General Assemblies. The purpose of the committee is to work to increase Golden Acorns membership and to encourage their involvement in DAC activities.

Benefiting Native Americans has always been the special project of the Golden Acorns Committee. Through the years significant contributions have been made to the library at Bacone College, Muskogee, Oklahoma. State societies, chapters. and members may assist with this project by donating to the National Golden Acorns Committee, participating in the Golden Acorns Bookmark Award program, and/or purchasing boxed note cards featuring the National Headquarters. In addition, members attending the General Assembly may bring small, packable, quality items for the speculative-charity that is held at the Golden Acorns Luncheon.

Donations to the Golden Acorns Committee may be made on the National Treasurer’s “Donations to National Projects form and mailed to the National Headquarters with a check payable to the National Treasurer, NSDAC. A Golden Acorns Bookmark Award is earned by a donation of $50 or one approved book to the Native American Collection at the Bacone College Library. The list of approved books is included in this packet and is also available upon request to the National Committee Chairman. The titles of books donated should be sent to the National Committee Chairman at her home address. All other donations to the Bacone College Library Fund should be sent directly to the National Headquarters and accompanied by the “Donations to National Projects” form and check payable to the National Treasurer, NSDAC. The Fund is listed on the form as ‘Golden Acorns.” All awards will be presented during the Golden Acorns Luncheon each April.

Profits from the sale of boxed note cards depicting the NSDAC Headquarters also helps support the national project. Golden Acorns Committee Chairmen should make sure that there is plenty of stationery to sell at their State Assemblies. Stationery orders should be addressed to the National Committee Chairman at her home address and accompanied by a check payable to the National Treasurer, NSDAC. The price is $6.00 per box, with a minimum order of five boxes per order. Postage is included in the price. Please allow three weeks for delivery.

Using the form on the reverse side of this letter, Chapter Golden Acorn Committee Chairmen should report to their State Golden Acorn Committee Chairmen by February 15; State Committee Chairmen report to their Sectional Committee Chairmen by March 1; and, Sectional Committee Chairmen report to the National Chairman by March 15. State Committee Chairman should make every effort to obtain reports from every chapter in her state society; likewise, Sectional Chairmen, should make every effort to obtain reports from every state society in her section. These reports are very important so that we may have an accurate account of the Golden Acorns members and their activities throughout the United States.

Regents, your Golden Acorns members are valuable assets. Please involve and encourage these younger members in DAC activities. They are the future of our Society!

Sincerely,

Vickery Ottaway White
