SUMMER 2013 Lapel Pin The SAR Foundation is proud to offer our 2013 lapel pin in commemoration of the September 3, 1783 signing of the Treaty of Paris. This pin features the three American signers: Ben Franklin, John Jay and John Adams. The Treaty of Paris ended the War for Independence and established the parameters for our country's birth. We are proud to offer this pin as a fitting reminder of this major event in the establishment of the United States of America. This pin is the fourth in a series of pins that have been offered in recognition of $100 donations to the SAR Foundation. The money is being raised to renovate space in the museum district of downtown Louisville, Kentucky, for the construction of our expanded library, national headquarters, education center, and museum galleries. This major building project is 10 years in the making and the end is now in sight. With your continued support, we could be moving into our new facility within the next 12 to 18 months. You can view our progress by clicking on the image of our building on the front page of the national SAR website www.sar. org and watching the construction video series.
