I Want To Tell You Today About Thursday

That's right! Thursday!
In fact, do you know what the week of Thursday, September 17th, until Wednesday, September 23rd, is all about?
Here's a guess...it has to do with your rights as a citizen of the United States.
Maybe some of you guessed. It is Constitution Week and the 222nd anniversary of the Constitution's adoption.
Most of us who completed high school had to study the Constitution. But many of us who are now adults have forgotten what it said. This would be the perfect week for all of us to read the Constitution, a document for which our forefathers so painstakingly labored to create and perfect.
If you don't have the time to read the entire Constitution, you should at least read the first 10 amendments, because those paragraphs are collectively known as the "Bill of Rights."
Our library has volumes of information about the Constitution. And right now we have a display in the main lobby's foyer by Moultrie's John Benning Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution with posters and the flags of the original 13 colonies. You can pick up free handouts about the Constitution, as well as laminated bookmarks.
The library isn't the only place in town where Constitution Week is being celebrated.
On Thursday, September 17th, at 4 p.m., the First Presbyterian Church will be ringing its bell to mark the day and time when the Constitution was first adopted by the Continental Congress on September 17, 1787.
Then on Saturday, September 19th, at 10 a.m., a celebration will be held on the courthouse square. Members of the DAR will be dressed as patriotic symbols, such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. The Colquitt County High School choral group and the ROTC will also participate.
Why not put on your red, white and blue T-shirt and join the group on the Square on Saturday? Hold a copy of the Constitution in one hand and wave the American flag in the other.
After all, if it weren't for the Constitution of the United States, you wouldn't have any reason to be here.
