For the second year in a row the Bethlehem Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has installed a display in the first floor hallway of city hall to recognize the importance of the signing of the U.S. Constitution by members of the Constitutional Convention on Sept. 17, 1787.
“We just want the public to be aware of the Constitution and the Bethlehem Chapter of the DAR,” says Jo Evans, who doubles as the local Ccapter’s chaplain and chairperson of the Constitution Month initiative.
Included in this year’s exhibit is a proclamation from Mayor Robert Donchez, a small model of the DAR House located in the City’s Rose Garden, and a graphic which explains the governmental format created in the document.
Evans also noted that the Bethlehem Chapter will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding on May 14, 2022.
Jo Evans adjusts a proclamation from Mayor Robert Donchez that is included in a city hall display that recognizes the signing of the U.S. Constitution Sept. 17, 1787, the day that delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia signed the historic document that established the framework for governance in the United States of America.
Included in the display is a graphic that explains the governmental structure that the U.S. Constitution created.
