Peoria, Arizona
We are so pleased you are visiting our website for the Asthon Sosi Chapter NSDAR in Peoria. Asthon Sosi (Adz-THON So- SEE) is the Navajo word for Slim Woman. This is a name given to Louisa Wade Wetherill, wife of Indian Trader John Wetherill, in honor of the very significant work she did on behalf of the Navajo people to improve their lives.
The Asthon Sosi Chapter was approved at the National Board Meeting of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, February 4, 2002, and organized on March 13, 2002 during the administration of Mrs. Peggy Hurd, Arizona State Regent, as Arizona’s thirty-first chapter. The organizing regent was Betsy Phillips Jones, who served from the chapter’s founding in 2002 until mid-term 2004. Current Vice Regent Susan Moore Teller was also a Charter Member, as well as Chapter Regent from 2008-2012.
We are a modestly-sized chapter located in Peoria, Arizona, a northwestern suburb of Phoenix. Our membership welcomes women with careers, past and present, those who have combined career and home, and those who have focused exclusively on running a household.
