Court filing:  Tamassee DAR vs. Missouri’s DAR

The Tamassee school founded more than 100 years ago by the DAR—Daughters of the American Revolution—has entered civil court action against the Missouri State Society, DAR.  The complaint outlines, among others, grounds for conversion and breach of fiduciary duty and seeks damages.  Alleged in the complaint, filed for Tamassee DAR School by Seneca attorney Andrew Holliday, is “unjust enrichment” by the Missouri DAR and centers on allegations that, at the request of the Missouri DAR, the National DAR returned more than $300 thousand dollars that had been held in a trust to benefit the Groves Cottage on the Tamassee campus.  According to the complaint, the Missouri DAR had donated monies to build the Missouri Groves Cottage at Tamassee.  Trial by jury is sought.
