Pat:

From Rootsweb.com, you can reach this board. However, many of the posts do
not come directly, but some from a locality.

http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.organizations.dar
Daughters of the American Revoltion [DAR]

I have used the above Board.

Most libraries, especially those with genealogy rooms will carry the DAR
books and perhaps their magazine.
