To Mayor Jack Denzer:
As Regent of John Witherspoon Chapter Daughters of the Revolution and a resident of
the city of Cottage Grove, I would like to bring to your attention the celebration of
Constitution Week, September 17-23.
The celebration this year is the Two Hundredth Eleventh Anniversary of the signing of
this great document. Our founding fathers crafted the Constitution of the United States
of America to secure the blessings of liberty for themseives and their posterity.
Americans need onfy glance at todays headlines to find reasons to celebrate nur
Constitution. In almost every part of the world the oppressed are valiantly struggling
for the basic rights we were granted over two hundred years ago.
Enclosed is a sample prociamation for Constitution Week you may rewrite into a more
elegant document if you so wish. I would appreciate your taking time to sign and return
to our chapter. I also would appreciate your faxing a copy to the Cottage Grove
libraries and schools.
Thank you for your time. Hoping to hear from you.
