The George W. Kendall Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) invites the community to visit its library displays, attend a mayoral proclamation reading, and join a nationwide bell-ringing celebration in recognition of the United States Constitution.

On September 17, 1787, following a summer of debate and compromise, 39 delegates signed the Constitution at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Their work established the framework of our government. This year marks the 239th anniversary of that signing, as well as 250 years since the Declaration of Independence proclaimed our nation’s founding principles.

Here in Boerne, residents can learn more by visiting the chapter’s two displays at the Patrick Heath Public Library during Constitution Week, September 17–23. One is located in the Children’s Section and the other upstairs in the Adult Section. Bring your children or grandchildren, take a closer look, and talk about why a document written more than two centuries ago still matters today.

The George W. Kendall Chapter hopes Boerne residents will make Constitution Week a family affair. Visit the displays (9/17-23), join the proclamation reading (9/16), and add your bell to the celebration (9/17)!
