tity, and the United States
Constitution, which set ibrth
the framework for the federal
government that is still in use
today," said Linda Grofl, chair-
woman of the Llano Uplift
DAR Constitution Week com-
mittee, reporting the national
organization's message.
"While Independence Day
is a beloved national holiday,
fewer people know about
Constitution Week, an annual
commemoration of the living
document that upholds and
protects the freedoms central to
our American way of lii ."
"We want to help citizens
and especially school children
to understand the importance
of the document, here in its
229th year of existence," CJroff
said.

The Daughters of the
American Revolution (DAR)
initiated the Constitution Week
obser¢'ance in 1955, when the
organization petitioned the
U.S. Congress to dedicate
September 17-23 of each year
to the commemoration of
threetbld: to encourage the
study of the historical events
that led to the franfing of the
Constitution in September
1787; to inform people that the
Constitution is the basis of
America's great heritage and
the foundation of our way of
life; and to enzphasize U.S. citi-
zens' responsibility to protect,
defend and preserve the
Constitution.
"DAR has been the fore-
most advocate fbr the aware-
ness, promotion and celebra-
tion of Constitution Week,"
said DAR President General
Ann Dillon. "This annual
observance provides innumer-
able opportunities fbr educa-
tional initiatives and commu-
nity outreach, two mission
areas of crucial inaportance to
the National Society's work.
By fi~stering knowledge of and
appreciation tbr the
Constitution and the inalien-
able rights it aflbrds to all
Americans, DAR helps to keep
alive the i temory of the men
and women who secured our
nation's independence, whose
bravery and sacrifice made
possible the liberties we enjoy
today."
"The framers created a
Constitution that translated
into law the ideals upon which
our nation was built," said
Dillon. "Their vision was so
forward thinking that their
words still guide us today. No
American history education
can be complete without a
thorough understanding of the
impact the Constitution has
had on the lives of American
citizens past and present."
One of the largest patriotic
women's organizations in the
world, DAR has more than
,185,000 members in approxi-
mately 3,000 chapters across
