The Society enhanced its October wreath laying ceremony by adding a luncheon at the Dobbin House followed by a guest speaker on Eisenhower. Often authors who published the latest scholarship on Eisenhower presented the programs, followed by a book signing opportunity.

The Society also established a Memorandum of Agreement with the Eisenhower National Historic Site to work together to commemorate Eisenhower. Each summer the Society holds an annual picnic at the Eisenhower Farm. Members participate in special tours of the home, educational programs, a putting contest, eat picnic food made from Eisenhower’s recipes, and enjoy after dinner entertainment.
