drive to help families in need through a local church pantry this year we will be collecting donations to help heinemann settlement school replenish their school supplies after the devastating floods members are encouraged to log their volunteer service hours on the national dar website in an online tally patriotism is also important to our mission that is why we celebrate constitution week as we are doing now by having the proclamation signed at each chapter meeting we say the pledge of allegiance and the americans creed we also have an annual flag day picnic to celebrate our national flag nation's flag historic preservation is another mission the kentucky room at the davis county public library was actually started as a repository of genealogical records from the general evan shelby chapter preserving historical and genealogical records is extremely important to our members our chapter was also instrumental in preserving the jones cabin at yellow creek pioneer village we also sponsored a da our grant for the whitesville historical society to help with their restoration of the stented
