July 8 Patriotic Program

The July 8, 2013 Meeting of the Newport Rotary Club featured a patriotic program on the lives of the three signers of the Declaration of Independence from North Carolina. The program identified the sacrifices made by each of the signers, their varied backgrounds, and the fact that all of them died by age 50. North carolina led the Continental Congress in one important respect. They were adamant about a protection for individual rights - that ultimately turned into unwavering support for the "Bill of Rights" amendments to the Constitution. The program was presented by Bevin Wall.
