Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday
1776-2026
Spotlight on
our Woman Patriot!
Elinor Brewster Dunn
1754-1841
Three sisters, Elinor, Agnes, and Jeanette aided materially in the establishment of American independence. They worked day and night spinning and weaving and making clothes for the soldiers, cooking their meals, and moulding bullets. It was said their oven was never cold, and they melted all the silver in the house, including silver spoons to make bullets.
Brava to our woman patriots!
Our Chapter
​Kan Yuk sa Chapter, Jacksonville, Florida.
1950-2025
CELEBRATING 75 YEARS!
Our Chapter was founded in 1950 in Jacksonville, FL,
by a group of patriotic women,
led by our organizing Regent
Catherine Elizabeth Smith Philips.
Thanks to all who celebrated with us!
​
We promote patriotism, service to our community
and to our country.
We help educate our students and recognize
their special accomplishments.
We celebrate our veterans and care for their families.
We welcome our new citizens.
​
Our chapter name, Kan Yuk sa, is the
Seminole Indian name for Florida
with Kan meaning "land or ground"
and Yuk sa meaning "point of."
Each year we celebrate local students with American History Essay Awards, DAR Good Citizens medals, and JROTC/ROTC. We also support our local C.A.R. Chapter, Princess Malee Society.
