Join us as we gather to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence in a simultaneous nationwide public reading. Together, we'll reflect on the ideals that have guided our nation, the shared responsibility of citizenship, and the ongoing work of building a community where freedom, opportunity, and respect for one another can flourish. All are welcome for this meaningful opportunity to remember our past, celebrate our community, and look toward the future.
