SUMMARY:Paul Revere A Patriot With A Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Paul Revere: A Patriot With A Purpose\nPaul Revere is a unique figure in USA history   His name is universally known for his “Midnight Ride\,” yet he seems to appear out of nowhere on that day and disappear the next   Like Rosa Parks\, he seems to be important for one day of his life\, which changes American History and then vanishes   But like Mrs. Parks\, Paul Revere was a brave\, determined\, and respected leader who led a rich\, complete\, and essential life before and after his moment of fame. \nWhile Americans recall something of the drama of Paul Revere’s ride\, the details are more harrowing\, exciting\, and heroic than you may realize. The CIA credits Revere with organizing the first spy network to protect America! \nPaul Revere was captured on his way to Lexington and Concord by the British -who threatened him with death   The daring Patriot escaped their clutches\, slipping through their lines and then riding tirelessly\, Revere saved the necks of John Hancock and John Adams    Using his quick wits and unbelievable courage\, Paul Revere even managed to smuggle top-secret documents to safety -right under the nose of the British column! \nHow was Paul Revere a Patriot with a purpose   And which modern United States hero would be the most comparable to him   Click here to read my surprising answer! \nPlease join us for this exciting and unexpected multimedia presentation where we will learn how the remarkable Patriot Paul Revere helped organize Boston’s fierce resistance to foreign occupation\, revolutionized American industry\, and managed to take the unforgettable midnight ride! \n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Benjamin Franklin
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Franklin has been called “The First American.” Certainly\, no life can compare to his. Benjamin Franklin was one of the most successful businessmen in American history. Although Franklin started his life in poverty\, he grew to be phenomenally wealthy. \nFranklin was a fantastic businessman\, a brilliant writer\, a political leader of immeasurable importance to America\, a world-renowned scientist\, and his inventions have been credited with saving countless lives throughout the centuries. And Franklin was also one of the funniest\, most charming\, and highly respected men of all time \nIn this fast-moving multimedia presentation\, we will look at all aspects of the life of the amazing \n \nBenjamin Franklin.  He invented the lightning rod\, bifocal glasses\, the Franklin stove (which heated American homes for many years)\, the first working pedometer\, and so many other practical items. But I think one of his greatest inventions is a little harder to recognize. Click here to read a short piece about what I consider Benjamin Franklin’s greatest invention. This exciting and unexpected multimedia presentation will examine Franklin’s immensely important role in shaping American business\, giving voice to the new American nation\, and transforming the world through his experiments and inventions. \n\n  \n
