Plans are being made for all three organizations to travel to Bermuda in August 2015 to commemorate the 240th anniversary of the Bermuda Gunpowder Plot. The program also includes the sale of a limited-edition commemorative pin. Proceeds will be used to "pay Bermuda back" for the stolen gunpowder, by donating a portion of proceeds to Bermuda charities, and to establish a fund for the C.A.R. to use in planning its commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Revolution, which will be only a decade away at the end of the program.

Michael Elston, VASSAR PG Meets with King's College Reps President General Lindsey C. Brock traveled to Washington, D.C., on Nov. 3, and met with Dr. Joanna Newman, MBE, FRSA, vice principal (international) of King's College London, to discuss the King George III Archives Project. King's College London is recognized as a center for 18th-century research, and the project has the potential to shed new light on 18th-century life, including the American Revolution and the events that led to it. Newman approached the SAR because of its support for academic research and interest in public education. Newman was accompanied by Edward Davies of the Development & Alumni Office of King's College London. J. Michael Elston of the Virginia Society, vice chairman of the NSSAR Government Relations Committee, also attended the meeting. PG Brock has designated Elston as the SAR's liaison to the project. As more details become available, the Government Relations Committee will look for appropriate ways for the SAR to be involved and report its recommendations to the Executive Committee and Trustees.
