The “Constitution Bowl” in Lincoln, California:
On November 16, AHP President Jay Dickey served as a judge at the “Constitution Bowl” for high school students in Lincoln, California. The event was held at the John Adams Academy, and was hosted by “Founding Forward” (foundingforward.org).
The Constitution Bowl concept was terrific, and the event attracted a very larger number of students and parents. The students work in teams of 3 or 4 students, and answer sometimes difficult questions about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the overall government framework established by the Founders. There are several rounds, with 4 teams advancing to the finals (there must have been 30-40 teams at this year’s event). Cash prizes are awarded to the winners— $750 to each team member for first place, $500 for each team member in second place, and $250 for the third-place finishers. President Dickey was impressed enough that AHP is now thinking about holding Constitution Bowls in other states—working, of course, in collaboration with Founding Forward. More news on this in early 2025!

Robert Burns Celebration

AHP Supports the Robert Burns Celebration in Reno Nevada

On January 25, the Nevada Society of Scottish Clans is hosting its annual Robert Burns Celebration at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. This annual event is a “blow out” evening banquet, featuring the full array of Scottish traditional entertainment, food (including haggis!), raffle items, and most importantly, a free scotch whisky tasting beginning at 4 pm on the day of the event. This year, American Heritage Partners is a sponsor of the Celebration, which promises to be another sell-out. AHP is supporting the NSSC in large part because of the major impact our Scottish-American ancestors have had on our shared American history.
