Check Request Submission​

Completed check request forms are required by all members when seeking reimbursement of expenses. The form and supporting documentation with receipts should be sent to the SAR San Diego Treasurer. Be sure to sign your check request before sending it to the Treasurer. 

Check Requests must be signed by the President before the Treasurer can issue a check.  This is normally done at monthly meetings.

Click here to download and complete the fill-in Acrobat form necessary to request expense reimbursement from the chapter. Use the instructions below when completing the form. When completed, you should print and sign it and mail to the Chapter Treasurer at.

Instructions- The fillable form fields allow you to complete your check request form using your computer. Use the tab key to move from field to field. Complete all of the fields except those reserved for the Chapter Treasurer.

“The space below is provided for listing the details of these expenses.”  Use this space to describe your expense(s) completely. Providing additional details makes it easier for the San Diego Chapter Treasurer to verify your expenses were charged against the proper category.

You may use the back of the form to enter additional items and details if needed.

We recommend that you make photocopies or scans of the documentation that you are going to attach to the form.  Retain these until you receive the check.

Our Chapter no longer maintains a P.O. Box, contact the Treasurer at treasurer@sarsandiego.org  for the current address the form and supporting documentation should be mailed to. 

Other Membership Actions

Use the buttons below for two common actions needed by former SDSAR members and those wishing to add a Dual Membership.

We Need Your Period Clothing

If you have Revolutionary War period clothing that you no longer use please consider donating or lending your items to the Chapter.

Our Color Guard competes each year for the California Color Guard of the Year award.  Each member that attends in period dress will earn points for our Color Guard whether they march or not.  We have non-marching members that are willing to use period dress and attend events and for those members we need “loaner” clothing.

In addition to adult sizes we are also in need of smaller sizes for ages 10-18. 

If you can help, please contact our Color Guard Commander, Duncan Campbell. colorguard@sarsandiego.org
