As Black Diamond, Enumclaw, Covington, and Maple Valley and the surrounding areas grow, it is our mission as Mary Fell Stevenson Daughters of the American Revolution to reach out to those around us.  It is easy to think nationally as our patriotism is directed to service of God, home and country, but American history is not only the history of nationhood, it is the history of thousands of local communities, like ours, whose history and ancestors tell a unique part of the overall story.  Over these next two years, let's find more ways to be patriotic, educate, and involve ourselves in historic preservation activities right here in Black Diamond, Washington. Let's make Mary Fell Stevenson Chapter "make a difference".
