HomeMy WebLinkAboutPresentation - Constitution WeekWhereas, September 17, 2015, marks the two hundred twenty-eighth
anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America
by the Constitutional Convention; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper to accord official recognition to this
magnificent document, its memorable anniversary, and the patriotic
celebrations which will commemorate the occasion; and
Whereas, Public Law 915 guarantees the issuing of a proclamation
each year by the President of the United States of America designating
September 17 to 23 as Constitution Week.
Now, Therefore, I, Susan Marie Weber, Mayor of the City of
Palm Desert, Along With the Entire City Council, Do Hereby Proclaim the week
of September 17 to 23, as
Constitution Week
in the City of Palm Desert and ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals the
Framers of the Constitution had in 1787 by vigilantly protecting the freedoms
guaranteed to us through this guardian of our liberties, remembering that lost
rights may never be regained. I urge all citizens to also study the Constitution
and reflect on the privilege of being an American, with all the rights and
responsibilities which that privilege involves.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand
and have caused the Official Seal of the Ciof Palm
Desert, California, to be affixed this 10` day of
September, 2015.
Stanley, Jane

Good afternoon Peg,
Palm Desert Mayor Susan Marie Weber would be very happy to recognize Constitution
Week at the September 10t" City Council meeting.
She was hoping someone from your organization would be able to come to the meeting
and accept the proclamation. The meeting begins at 4:00 p.m. and the proclamation
would be read at the beginning of the meeting.
Please let me know as soon as possible if someone can be here.
Thank you kindly,
