Week by attending a luncheon on Sept. 14, 2013, at the Trinity Baptist

DAR President General, Lynn Forney Young, says “Constitution Week is the perfect opportunity to read and study this great document which is the safeguard of our American liberties. We encourage all citizens across the country to take time this week to reflect on our
heritage of freedom and come together to ‘Celebrate America’!”
