Amelia Island DAR Chapter Regent Lynn Leisy, and 2nd Vice Regent Shelia Carlin, present Fernandina Beach Branch Library Assistant Director Janet Loveless with Constitution Week teaching materials. The week runs from September 17th through the 23rd. September 17, 1787, is the day the Constitution was signed in Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

A DVD and other items will be available for check out for use primarily by private schools and home-schoolers. The same materials have been donated to the Nassau Public School System to introduce our newest generations to this special week.

Fernandina Beach Mayor Robin Lentz will further commemorate the week when she presents a proclamation from the city to Regent Leisy at the city commission meeting on the 19th.
