Chapter Chatter: Alliklik Chapter Celebrates Constitution Week at Constitution Avenue

On Saturday, September 12, 2020, fifteen members of the Alliklik Chapter, masked and socially-distanced, took a photo at Constitution Avenue in Santa Clarita with the Constitution Week Proclamation that the chapter received from the City of Santa Clarita. Nearly forty years ago Alliklik Chapter was active in petitioning the County of Los Angeles to name this street in honor of the U.S. Constitution.

Following this photo, Alliklik Chapter visited Mentryville, a ghost town of the oil boom era that occurred in the Santa Clarita Valley in the 1860-1920s. At Mentryville the Alliklik Chapter visited the tree they planted in 1982 in honor of the 250th anniversary of George Washington’s birthday and took a tour of the ghost town and old school house.

Photographer Dan Watson from The Santa Clarita Signal newspaper joined Alliklik Chapter at both events. An article about them and photos were featured in The Signal on September 14, 2020, with the headline, “Daughters of American Revolution Receive Recognition, Visit Mentryville“.
