Fort GreeneVille DAR
Promotes Constitution Week
September 17 through 23 commemorates the signing of the Constitution of
the United States of America. To kick off Constitution Week,
proclamations were given by the Darke County Commissioners and
Greenville Mayor Willman.
Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR would like to invite everyone to visit our
local libraries in Darke County for Constitution Week. Each of the six
local libraries (Arcanum, New Madison, Greenville, Union City, Worch
Memorial and Bradford) and the Garst Museum were gifted by DAR members
with a 750 piece jigsaw puzzle of the US Constitution. Patrons are
encouraged to visit and work on the puzzles at the designated
locations. Also there will be Constitution bookmarks for patrons while
supplies last. A display cabinet featuring Constitution Week can be
viewed at the Greenville Public Library.
DAR has been the foremost advocate for the awareness, promotion and
celebration of Constitution Week. This annual observance provides
innumerable opportunities for educational initiatives and community
outreach, two mission areas of crucial importance to the National
Society’s work. By fostering knowledge of and appreciation for the
Constitution and the inalienable rights it affords to all Americans,
DAR helps to keep alive the memory of the men and women who secured our
nation’s independence, whose bravery and sacrifice made possible the
liberties we enjoy today.
