RAPID CITY, SD—Mayor Steve Allender is proclaiming September 17-23 as Constitution Week in Rapid City. The mayor will be joined by members of the Black Hills Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution at Monday’s City Council meeting for presentation of the proclamation.
Constitution Day is observed each year on September 17. With the Constitution Week proclamation, Mayor Allender is urging citizens of all ages – especially young people - to reflect on the importance and ideals of the United States Constitution. In the proclamation, Mayor Allender recognizes the US Constitution has “guided our growth, shaped our progress, and defined us as a nation of sacred laws and fundamental values” and the document is the “bedrock we build upon to make our nation more equal, more just, and more prosperous for all our people”.
With the proclamation, Mayor Allender is asking citizens to work hard at protecting the freedoms guaranteed by the US Constitution, “remembering that lost rights may never be regained”.
The mayor’s proclamation will be one of the initial agenda items for Monday’s Council meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall.
