SILVER CITY, NEW MEXICO: The Silver City Jacob Bennett Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is pleased to announce its America 250 community project, "In the Spirit of 1776." This project provides a unique way to celebrate America's milestone anniversaries and is a historical education opportunity for people of all ages in our community.
"In the Spirit of 1776" unites a time capsule with the concept of a message in a bottle. Starting July 4th this year at the Silver City Independence Day Parade and Patriotic Freedom Festival, we will begin collecting 1,776 patriotic notes/warm wishes from children, students and adults in our community. Next year at Silver City's Semiquincentennial Independence Day celebration, these 1,776 notes will be enclosed in a time capsule. The "message in the bottle" part: 50 years later at Silver City's Tricentennial celebration on July 4, 2076, the time capsule will be opened and each note therein passed out randomly to individuals at that celebration – a patriotic and warm wish from someone in our communities celebrating America's 250th to someone here in the future celebrating the 300th anniversary of American independence.
