Cyndi Valencia (on the left) is Senior President of the Heritage Corridor Society of the Children of the American Revolution. Here she is shown with 2 of her society members at the table explaining their activities to support our troops in Iraq. This photo was taken at our November 20, 2005 dinner meeting where Purple Heart winner Sgt. Erlander gave a talk on his experiences in Iraq.

The Fox Valley chapter is an official sponsor of the Herritage Corridor Society of the CAR which is based in Will county in Joliet.

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.

These 5 CAR chapters are within the boundaries of the Fox Valley SAR chapter:

CAR Chapter	Location	Area Covered
Heritage Corridor	Joliet	Kendall & Will Counties
Illinois Prairie	Kings	DeKalb County
Judge Nathaniel Pope	Naperville	DuPage & Will Counties
Pierce Downer	Downers Grove	DuPage County
Shabbona Beeler	St. Charles	Kane & DuPage Counties

In the fall Oct 2007 meeting, President Don Parrish, presented a check of support to Linnaea Hance of the Judge Nathaniel Pope CAR chapter. Right, Don introduces Caitlin Collins, Historian of the Illinois CAR, who explained their pin drive. Compatriots bought all 10 pins she brought.

In the fall of 2006, the Fox Valley chapter provided some financial assistance to Children of the American Revolution member Daniel Pickerl with his Eagle Scout Project. Daniel did a complete rehab of the Pioneer memorial in Naperville's Pioneer Park.
