Local civic groups brief commission on Constitution Week and elected-officials leadership program

Becky Wall, who identified herself as representing the Charlotte Reeves Robertson chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, briefed commissioners on Constitution Week activities: reading the Constitution to every fourth-grade class and to preschool groups, distributing pocket constitutions, organizing displays at public libraries and holding a bell-ringing ceremony. "My name is Becky Wall and I am with the Charlotte Reeves Robertson chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution here in Springfield," she said, and invited commissioners to request pocket constitutions for constituents.
