CLEMSON — Mari R. Noorai, Regent of the Andrew Pickens Chapter of Clemson, received a national appointment in the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) from the newly elected President General Lynn F. Young of Houston, Texas.

Because of Noorai’s achievements with the Junior American Citizens Club that she organized and advises at the Tamassee DAR School, Young asked Miss Noorai to serve as the SE Division National Vice Chairman Junior AmericanCitizens Committee–Service and Creative Expression.

Noorai is a fifth-generation DAR member in the upstate; her great-great grandmother, the late Martha Elizabeth Bowen Nimmons a long time resident of Pickens, was a Charter Member.

At Fall Forum in Columbia, Noorai presented Mrs. Young with a scrapbook from the Junior American Citizens Club highlighting the club’s community service projects and how the Tamassee DAR School students are “Celebrating America.”
