Acadia Chapter NSDAR School Chairman Joanna Pruitt, takes a school bus to chapter meetings. The question comes to mind: why would Pruitt ride a school bus to a DAR meeting? The answer is that she doesn't ride on the school bus; she carries a miniature yellow school bus to the meetings. Her bus is a bank. She passes the bus around to the attendees at the meetings in order to collect change which is earmarked for the Kate Duncan Smith DAR School, Bacone College, Chemawa Indian School, Crossnore School, Hindman Settlement School, Berry College, Hillside School, and the Tamassee DAR School.
