In Adair County, The Jane Lampton Chapter DAR, is the foremost "Cheerleader" of the Constitution, Regent Sue Stivers writes, below. In anticipation of the week, Adair County CJE Ann Melton and Columbia Mayor Mark D. Harris have proclaimed the week of September 17-23, 2013, as "Constitution Week," in Columbia/Adair County, KY. This story by Regent Sue Stivers details the significance of the occasion. Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) The Jane Lampton Chapter DAR was formally organized May 4, 1940, at the home of Mrs. N.P. Bray on Burkesville Street in Columbia. The chapter has continuously remained active throughout the years. Today's officers are: Regent - Sue Stivers; Vice Regent - Rita Popplewell Johnson; Recording Secretary - Lila Curry Ford; and Treasurer - Jane Wilson Grant. By Sue Cravens Stivers, Regent Tuesday, September 17, begins the national celebration of Constitution Week. The Jane Lampton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revollution woul dlike to encourage all families to join in the week long commemoration of America's most important document. Our Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties and freedom, and to ensure those inalienable rights to every American. The United States of America functions as a Republic under the constitution, which is the oldest document still in active use that outlines the self-government of a people. This landmark idea that men had the inalienable right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their governance with the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, The Constitution stands as an icon of freedom for people around the world. Constitution Week (September 17-23) is the perfect opportunity to read and study this great document which is the safeguard of our American liberties. All citizens in Adair County, Kentucky and the U.S. are encouraged to take time during this week to reflect on our heritage of freedom and to come together to Celebrate America! The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the DAR. In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23, annually, to be dedicated for the observance of constitution week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law 3915 on August 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizens' responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for America's great heritage and th foundation for our way of life; and (3) encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787. DAR has served America for 123 years as its foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began working on a building as a memorial to the Constitution. John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial, was commissioned to design the performing arts center, known as DAR Constitution Hall. Today, DAR Constitution Hall is the only structure erected in tribute to the Constitution of the United States of America. Known as the largest women's patriotic organization in the world, DAR has long promoted patriotism through commemorative celebrations, memorials, scholarships, and activities for children and programs for new immigrants. The Jane Lampton Chapter DAR was formally organized May 4, 1940, at the home of Mrs. N.P. Bray on Burkesville Street in Columbia. The chapter has continuously remained active throughout the years. Today's officers are: Regent - Sue Stivers; Vice Regent - Rita Popplewell Johnson; Recording Secretary - Lila Curry Ford; and Treasurer - Jane Wilson Grant.
