Our chapter supported the annual Wounded Warriors Soldier Ride by cheering and providing fruit and drinks to riders and staff at the half-way point. This year the event included veterans and their spouses and took place along the Cape Cod Canal on the mainland side.
Historic Preservation
The chapter was named after Captain Joshua Gray who was born in 1743, and was a prominent figure at the outbreak of the American Revolution. Our chapter history page has more information on Captain Gray.
