Recap
First Quarter Meeting
SAR members and invited guests gathered at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott on Sunday February 22nd, 2026, for an evening of good food, thoughtful conversation, and warm fellowship.
We’re excited the share that our 2026 First Quarter Meeting speaker will be former Grove City College President Richard G. Jewell, Esq. Mr. Jewell will discuss the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which was held from May 25 to September 17 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was convened to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation.
Mr. Jewell assumed the presidency of Grove City College in 2003 following a career as a director of Navigant Consulting Inc., the nation’s largest forensic accounting firm. Under his leadership, the College grew physically, academically, and spiritually. Jewell graduated cum laude from Grove City College with high honors in political science in 1967 and graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1973 with a Juris Doctorate degree.
National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR or SAR) was founded in 1889 and is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky.
SAR is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and promoting education to our future generations. SAR members volunteer untold hours of service each year in their local communities. SAR is very active in supporting active-duty military personnel and assisting veterans as well. We proudly assist classrooms with living history interpreters, lesson planning materials and reenactment events for school-aged youth to attend.
