​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.
