| Joseph A. Vasquez, Jr., the Senior Treasurer of the Children of the
American Revolution in Illinois, is the coordinator between the Fox Valley chapter and
the CAR chapters in the five county area (Kane, Kendall, DeKalb, DuPage and Will) of the Fox Valley chapter.
It is a natural transition for young men in the CAR as they "age out"
to become members of the SAR,
and the Fox Valley chapter is eager to assist them in this transistion. |
