Letter

 

“Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition.” --Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, Query 19, 1781.

 

How come our 200 year ago Founder could recognize welfare destroys a person’s pride in accomplishment and today’s leaders, who want more welfare, don’t understand the words a helping hand up, not a hand out?

America Celebrates U.S. Constitution
DAR Promotes Constitution Week Awareness

 

September 17, 2012 begins the national celebration of Constitution Week. The week long commemoration of America’s most important document is one of our country’s last known official observances. Our Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties and freedom, and to ensure those inalienable rights to every American.

 

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) started the tradition of celebrating the Constitution many years ago. In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on August, 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for America’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life; and (3) encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787.

 

The United States of America functions as a Republic under the Constitution, which is the oldest document still in active use that outlines the self-government of a people. This landmark idea that men had the inalienable right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their own governance was the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Constitution stands as an icon of freedom for people around the world.

 

“We must remember and teach that those who wrote the Constitution believed that no government can create freedom, but that government must guard freedom rather than encroach upon the freedoms of its people,” state Merry Ann T. Wright, President General of the DAR. “The Constitution by itself cannot guarantee liberty. A nation’s people can remain free only by being responsible citizens who are willing to learn about the rights of each arm of government and require that each is accountable for its own function. Therefore, 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 guard that which is committed to us by our forefathers... Our freedom.”

 

DAR has served America for 122 years as its foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began work on a building as a memorial to the Constitution. John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial, was commissioned to design the performing arts center, known as DAR Constitution Hall. Today, DAR Constitution Hall is the only structure erected in tribute to the Constitution of the United States of America.

 

Known as the largest women’s patriotic organization in the world, DAR has over 165,000 members with approximately 3,000 chapters in all 50 states and 11 foreign countries. The DAR has long promoted patriotism through commemorative celebrations, memorials, scholarships activities for children, and programs for new immigrants.

Coe Brown Hosts Unique Fundraiser To Benefit The Performing Arts

 

The Coe Brown Northwood Academy (CBNA) Performing Arts Programs will host a one-of-a-kind fundraising event, a Community Mattress Fundraising Sale, on Saturday, September 15, from 10 am to 4 pm at the Academy, 907 First New Hampshire Turnpike, Northwood. This event has been extremely successful in school districts all across the country over the last six years and we now have the opportunity to run this event at Coe Brown.

 

If you think you might be in need of a mattress (or mattress set, etc.) or if you know of any family or friends that might be in need, be sure to visit the CBNA Mattress Fundraiser Sale. There will be 18-20 sets on display, including Consumer Digest Best Buy mattresses to try out. A team of experts will be on hand to answer any question you might have. The savings range from 30-60% below retail prices. Mattress sets start at $199. Mattresses can be picked up at Coe Brown or delivery is available within two weeks after the sale.

 

The Performing Arts are an integral part of the Coe Brown Northwood Academy educational and co-curricular experience. Over the years hundreds of CBNA students have taken to the stage in various theatrical productions, raised their voices in song at recitals and arts festivals, and lent their musical talents to band concerts and performances.




Dominica!
Submitted By Judy Joyce

 

It’s been a while since I last sent a news release about my “service” in Dominica as a Peace Corps volunteer. My original term should have ended in October 2010 but I have been granted two additional years. Washington, D.C. has now denied a third extension. It’s nearly impossible to serve five years. So I must choose another country to continue in Peace Corps. I love my work and Dominica and hope to find a means to stay. I’ve never felt so fulfilled and blessed.

 

One of my latest endeavors is a summer school for children in my community.

 

For five weeks, beginning July 16 through August 15, 2012, forty-nine children ages 3 to 16, participated in a summer school program that focused on career development, self esteem, reading and writing.

 

I taught classes in a banana shed in Frayal with a drop cloth floor, in the Riviere Cyrique Community Shelter and the Morne Jaune School Library. A few teens helped.

 

The “text” was a coloring book When I Grow Up provided by Jolly’s Pharmacy and Youth Service America and the Teaching & Learning Company Self Esteem.

 

Prizes of “sparkle” pencils, donated by Astaphans, (a local department store) and erasers, sharpeners, and stickers donated by “U.S. friends”, were given for each book report completed. Thirty-nine reports were turned in and many more books were read. (My backpack became a moving library!)

 

A special bonus for the fifteen highest achievers, was a trip to Orion Academy for the Literary Festival’s Children’s Story Telling and Craft Workshop on Saturday August 11. The day’s reward included a “mandatory” stop at Brizee’s Mart for ice cream and playground. Confederated Child Fund helped with the day’s expenses as part of our summer school program.

 

Certificates and gifts were given for “Perfect Attendance”, “Most Book Reports” and “Best Student”. Lekia Lawrence, age 11, earned this award, for attending all fifteen sessions and being well  disciplined.

 

Peanut butter was provided by Astaphans and Youth Service America and bread by Lynworth Bakery for their daily snack. Tang and local juice were also a gift from Lynworth in Riviere Cyrique.

The children received notebooks and pencils for school as well as the coloring book. St. Theresa’s Church in Rye, New Hampshire, provided many of the stationery materials for the classes.

 

This was an exciting, fun and educational activity for the local youth. They wanted it to continue and asked when the next summer school would be!
Blessings to all!
