Four Olympic Peninsula residents recently joined the local Daughters of the American Revolution chapter, and a fifth is slated to join this week.

During their first in-person meeting in several months, the Michael Trebert Chapter of the DAR welcomed Ellen LaMarr, Marianne Burton and Lisa Stoddart, each from Sequim, as new members on Sept. 16.

Port Angeles resident Deana Volker was also inducted.

The meeting took place at the Sequim American Legion Hall and included some attendees via Zoom.

An additional new member, Linda Bryant of Sequim, was unable to attend but will take the Oath of Membership via Zoom on Sept. 23.

The Daughters of the American Revolution is a volunteer women’s service organization. The primary areas of service are historic preservation, education and patriotism.

Membership is open to women 18 years of age and older who can prove lineal bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided the cause of American independence.
