UPCOMING SPEAKER

Patrick Henry Jolly

June 17

Join us Wednesday for our weekly meeting in Charter Hall on the third floor of the City Market Building; networking and lunch begin at 12:00PM. We will listen to Patrick Henry Jolly, a direct descendent of Founding Father "Give me liberty, or give me death," Patrick Henry. In authentic period costume, he will present a first person portrayal of Patrick Henry, giving context to one of the most famous phrases in American history. The speech will be followed by biographical information on Mr. Henry, as well as a period of Q&A.

Patrick Henry Jolly has been studying the life of his ancestor for since the early 1990's, and portraying Henry for nearly as long. He has been involved at Patrick Henry's Red Hill since 1999, and can often be found on-site, speaking with visitors and giving tours. Patrick just concluded performing in Oh Henry! A Revolutionary Life!, a play based on the life of Patrick Henry.
