For the City-Times

A highlight of the September Nay-osh-ing Daughters of the American Revolution meeting was a visit by Dan Schlutter.

Honored guest, Dan Schlutter, Plover Village President, presented a Proclamation to the Chapter as part of Constitution Week.  He then provided an overview of growth and changes that are taking place in Plover including an overview of the opening of new businesses in Crossroad Commons, various road improvements, apartment building additions, improvements to the area around Lake Pacawa and the success of the Celebrate Plover event, Plover is growing, families and businesses are attracted to the area which makes Plover a destination.  The pride of having new additions, new uses for existing parks, and the celebrations that are part of holidays make Plover an ever changing area of the state.  Communities working together like Stevens Point and Plover show the dedication of those who serve in government office.

As part of the September meeting, “Constitution Week”, an explanation about Patriot Day was read, a poster and display will be provided to the Mosinee and Plover Libraries, an article read entitled “What the Constitution Means to You”, and members were provided with all four verses of the Star Spangled Banner to honor the 200th anniversary of our National Anthem.  Members were notified that PBS will be showing a program that salutes this milestone on September 13, 2014.

Nay-osh-ing continues to collect donations to ship helmet liners and Trees from Home to those serving overseas, comfort and warmth for the holidays.

WSDAR Fall Workshop will be held in Wisconsin Rapids on September 26-27^th; members from Nay-osh-ing will assist as greeters on Friday and will also be attending many of the interesting programs that are being offered.
