The Star-Spangled Banner O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? -Francis Scott Key -John Stafford Smith The American's Creed I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union; one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies. -William Tyler Page Preamble to the Constitution of the United States We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. 3 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Thursday, March 26, 2020 9:00 a.m. Meeting with Hotel Staff and Conference Committee 10:00 a.m. Executive Board with District Directors –Triple Crown Room 1:30-3:00 p.m. Registration/Credentials and Ticket Pickup – Crimson Clover Workshops – Registration & fee required – Grand KY Salon B 2:00 p.m. “Reading Contest Awards with Author Mary Popham” ………………………………….
