October 18, 2026      This week we will hear from our own Rich Hluchan about the National Constitution Center (NCC) in Philadelphia -- the first and only museum dedicated to the U.S. Constitution. The museum brings to life the founding of our nation for visitors of all ages. His presentation will provide an overview of NCC, with emphasis on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Rich is a retired lawyer, and has been a volunteer at NCC for three years.
