U.S.D. 1812 Presented National Outstanding Public Relations - Individual Award for April 5, 2024

 

President Michele Russell presented Phyllis Wilson with the National Society United States Daughters of 1812 Award for Outstanding Contribution to Public Relations. Phyllis also received the National Award in 2023. In 2021-2022, Phyllis received an award from the National Historian Faye Floyd, who felt that Phyllis contributed above and beyond what was expected of an 1812 Daughter in American History. Therefore, she personally chose Phyllis because she continually kept her updated. This award is a pin that is not given out every year. 

Phyllis has maintained the 1812 blog since 2011. She also sends articles to The State Port Pilot and The Brunswick Beacon. If other 1812 chapters send her articles and photos, she will post them on the blog for their chapter. This is the second year Phyllis has won this award. 

President Russell announced at the October 5th meeting that our 1812 chapter received a certificate from National for Public Relations, Best Chapter Program, Most Supplementals Approved, and Most Donations to National. Certificates were presented to Suzanne Palmer for most donations to the Veterans Hospital and Phyllis Wilson for Public Relations.
