The Spirit of ‘76 Community Service Project
In this 250th anniversary year of the American Declaration of Independence, OLLI at Pacific is working with community organizations to provide opportunities for the public to study, discuss and celebrate our Declaration. Our Spirit of ‘76 Workshops will enable interested participants to delve deeply into the content and interpretation of the Declaration. By agreeing to help and facilitate ways that fellow citizens can also discuss and learn about the Declaration, participants will become “Honorary Signers.” The forums will provide more opportunities for their members, fellow citizens, and interested persons to familiarize themselves with the Declaration and learn about the unifying national spirit it launched among the people of the 13 colonies – the reasons our forefathers risked so much to achieve “safety and happiness” for a new nation.
SPIRIT OF ’76 WORKSHOPS ON THE DECLARATION
will be led by Dr. Gene Bigler, Professor Emeritus Dr. Brian Klunk and other community leaders, teachers, ethics specialists, or representatives of other interested community partners
