WINTER 2014-2015 11 SAR, DAR and C.A.R. to Travel to Bermuda All members of the SAR, DAR and C.A.R. are invited to beautiful Bermuda Aug. 12-17, 2015, for events commemorating the 240th anniversary of the Bermuda Gunpowder Plot. Events will take place at Southampton, Hamilton and St. George's in Bermuda, and the group will stay at the world- famous Fairmont Southampton. The trip will include the dedication of two historical markers and one interpretive sign. The governor of Bermuda and the premier of Bermuda are expected to hold receptions for the group, and participants will enjoy a re-enactment of the theft of the gunpowder from the British magazine staged by local history and heritage organizations. Proceeds from the sale of Gunpowder Plot pins during the past two years will be presented to three Bermuda charities to repay the islanders for the stolen gunpowder, which was critically important during the early days of the Revolution. There also will be time to enjoy Bermuda's pink sand beaches, world-class golf courses and its many other cultural treasures.
