Proclamation – Designating September 17 through 23 as Constitution Week

VP Moorman Schumacher read the Proclamation.

Lynn Freebus, Constitution Week Chair, introduced other the members from the Louis Joliet Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution, Mary Enhardt – Regent, Bobbi Borbas – 2nd Vice Regent and Lona Jakaitis – Past Recording Secretary. She thanked the Board for inviting them to the meeting and to receive this proclamation recognizing the 230th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution.

Mary Enhardt stated the U.S. Constitution was written in 1787 and was signed on September 17th. It wasn’t until 1788 that it was ratified, by the necessary 9 states. Of the written national constitutions, the U.S. Constitutions has endured longer than any other Constitutions in the world and it is actually used as a model for a lot of other countries. In 1955, as a way of recognizing and preserving the importance of the U.S. Constitutions, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution petitioned Congress to have a week of observance and Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law on August 2, 1956, thus Constitution Week began. The Louis Joliet Chapter National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution continues to preserve our national history by provided Constitution Week displays in our local libraries, posters in our local schools and requesting proclamation from our local municipalities. We are grateful to VP Moorman Schumacher and the Board of Trustees for recognizing this important document in our Nation’s history and supporting the work of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution.
