	Members of the chapter on May 4, 1928 attended the dedication of the Forest Reserve Park near Lamont. The national organization had planted 5,000 trees of which 93 were planted by the Dubuque chapter, one for each of its members. (13) The local chapter in 1930 also supported the national organization by contributing to the reconstruction of the Piney Ridge school's girls' dormitory. The school, located in Mississippi, was working with African Americans. Locally the Julien Dubuque chapter was one of six in the state compiling biographies of women active in the Revolutionary War. The local chapter also presented prizes to school children for essays on subjects of American history. (14) This activity in 2006 was focused on Benjamin Franklin.

	The Julien Dubuque chapter itself made history in 1945. In 1932 the national D.A.R. organization denied Marian Anderson, a famed African American soprano, the opportunity to perform in Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. This caused Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of President Franklin Roosevelt, to resign from the organization. (16) In 1943 Ms. Anderson was allowed to sing in the hall due to pressure brought by Mrs. Roosevelt. Proceeds from the concert went to the United China Relief Fund. As part of the agreement between Mrs. Roosevelt and the national D.A.R., African Americans were admitted without discrimination to the concert. (17) Using the 1932 decision as precedent and after Franklin Roosevelt had died, the national organization in 1945 refused to allow Hazel Scott, a renowned pianist and wife of Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, the opportunity to sing in the hall. The Julien Dubuque chapter went on record protesting an action of the national organization. The Julien Dubuque chapter condemned the action of the national organization and was joined by President and Mrs. Harry Truman, other members of Congress, and many civic leaders.

	Educational interests of the Julien Dubuque chapter included financial aid to a school for underprivileged children in the name of Mrs. Carl Bartels who, in 1970, had just completed a two-year term as Iowa regent. (19) Annually the chapter awarded citizenship awards to six local students. Two each were awarded to members of the [[BOY SCOUTS]], [[GIRL SCOUTS]], and the [[DUBUQUE BOYS' CLUB]]. (20) The process by 2010 had been changed with awards being made locally and as far away as Starmont High School. Selected from area high schools, the students submitted a complete resumé, grade transcripts, recommendations, and an outline of extracurricular involvement. An essay was also written on a topic with which the student had no advance knowledge and without the use of any reference materials. Winners progressed to regional, state and national levels.
