We had a very special treat when we did the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Elton Farr, three years old, was on video as he was on the way to his Day Care program where he learned to recite this pledge. He is a very impressive little boy. Everyone enjoyed seeing patriotism in one this young. Elton is the son of Meryl and Peyton Farr, from Mer Rouge, La.

Regent Hales announced the certificates were awarded to this chapter. for meeting required items last year. September is Constitution Week, so that is our focus. This a a great document that every American should appreciate and hold firm for all. George Washington gave his approval to this.
It sets plans to an organized government. We as Americans should “believe in and cherish the Constitution.”.It gives us the gift of life, liberty and prosperity. and 230 years of freedom.
