Constitution Week
September 17-23
To celebrate our Constitution, the safeguard of our liberties, the Sierra Amador Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution encouraged awareness of the Constitution by hanging posters in the Amador County Library proclaiming the date and event visible from the entry to the library. We wish all to be reminded of the safeguards to our liberty through the Consitution of the United States of America.
As Daughters we are concerned with availability of information about, respect for and knowledge of the Constitution in our community and wish to implement and encourage interest in the Constitution. Our program each September reflects some aspect of the US Constitution.
Flag Committee
The United States 50-star flag – 1960
After Alaska and then Hawaii joined the Union, a new design and arrangement of stars were required in the union of the flag. In the order issued by President Eisenhower, August 21, 1959, the national banner with fifty stars became the official flag of the United States. President Eisenhower issued an attachment to the order specifying the position of the stars in the union and setting forth the dimensions and proportions of the constituent parts of the flag.
The American Flag may be flown at any time, weather permitting, day or night, if properly illuminated after dark.
Project Patriot
Sierra Amador Chapter contributes to the DAR's Project Patriot. We send packages to service men and women on the front lines. We also contribute to Project Wounded Warrier, providing items for those recovering from war related injuries at local and national military hospitals.
Items are brought to each chapter meeting to be packaged and mailed to in support of our men and women fighting the war against terrorism.
