Frances Bland Randolph Chapter NSDAR has active members from Petersburg and many of its surrounding areas. We are a non-profit and non-political society focused on promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and promoting education for children. A few of the things we support are Wreaths Across America, donations to veterans at the VA Hospital, collecting food and clothing for the needy, Naturalization Ceremonies, Good Citizenship Awards to six deserving high school seniors, the student American History Essay contest, and awarding JROTC medals to outstanding cadets at three local high schools. Our Regent’s ongoing project is working towards the restoration of Francis Bland Francis’s grave site at Virginia State University.
