The Sons of Liberty Chapter will hold an IN PERSON General Membership Meeting.

Please join us on Saturday, March 15th at 12 noon until 1:30

We are back at the Tam! The Tam O’Shanter has been a regular meeting place for Sons of Liberty Chapter SAR for years, and we are pleased to return to the Tam!

All new officers of Sons of Liberty Chapter for 2025 will be sworn into office!
Jim Klingler, CSSAR Past President, will officially swear in officers elected.

Speaker: Stewart Davenport, PhD.

Topic: The Revolutionary War: Lexington and Concord through Saratoga, 1775-1777

After growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, Stewart Davenport went on to receive his Ph.D. in History from Yale in 2001.  He is currently Professor of History at Pepperdine University, teaching courses in American History from the Revolutionary era through the Civil War, approximately 1750-1880..  In his scholarship, he likes to pick topics that are ethically pressing in the present, but whose origins are deep in the past and thus open to historical exploration.  His first book, “Friends of the Unrighteous Mammon”: Northern Christians and Market Capitalism, 1815-1860 (University of Chicago Press, 2008) explores the tensions between capitalism and the values of America’s Christian culture in which it flourished.  His second book, Sex and Sects: The Story of Mormon Polygamy, Shaker Celibacy, and Oneida Complex Marriage (2022, UVA Press), was inspired by the gay marriage debate in the early 2000s and recently won the Communal Studies Association’s Timothy Miller Outstanding Book Award.  He and his wife Mary, and children, Shiloh and Archer, live in South Pasadena.

The more people present, the better! Make plans to attend our regular meeting at the Tam!

There is no official dress code, but most of our members wear a coat and tie to attend our General Membership Meetings. If you’d like to buy an official SAR tie, speak with our Treasurer at our next meeting!
