On Wednesday, September 8, 2010 The Brunswick Town Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held their first meeting of the year at the First Baptist Church, in Boiling Spring Lakes, NC. Greg Bland, the state winner of the North Carolina Society DAR Outstanding History Teacher was the guest speaker. His program was in conjunction with Constitution Week, which was September 17th thru 23rd. He gave a presentation of how the constitution is still being used in Supreme Court decisions today. Greg gave us several examples of the modern day case decisions framed by the Constitution.
