DAR chapter helps others
During a recent meeting, the members of the Fort Prince George Chapter, NSDAR, performed acts of service. During the meeting, members made welcome packets containing toiletries and candy for the Tamassee DAR School. Lap blankets were made for the Richard M. Campbell Veterans Nursing Home, and a sewing station was set up and several members made colorful pillowcases for the veterans at the home. The beautiful pillowcases brighten up their rooms and hopefully lift their spirits. Cards with words of encouragement and thanks were made to be sent to active service members. The ladies of the Fort Prince George Chapter, NSDAR continue to demonstrate that the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is first and foremost a service organization.

Hearty beef dishes warm up winter nights
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
My family is a fan of red meat. Although they’ll eat vegetarian dishes, they really enjoy beef, and these recipes get away from the same old 
same old and bring a little more variety to the table.
Although I like all of these, the beef stroganoff is one of my favorites. It’s real comfort food, so when it’s cold outside and you’re chilled to the bone, try one of these recipes. These will really stick to your ribs.
