Men’s Breakfast: Ben Franklin’s Navy

At this month’s Men’s Breakfast, you will learn how Franklin’s efforts in this area helped create anti-war sentiment in Great Britain. His supporting cast of Rebel Captains reads like a who’s who of our first navy: John Paul Jones, John Barry, Gustavus Conyngham, and Lambert Wickes among them. It’s a story of courage, intrigue, farce, and humor, as these rebel skippers and their crews did their utmost to wreak havoc on the English Channel, the North Sea, and the Eastern Atlantic, all under Franklin’s watchful eye.

In addition to the talk, enjoy a delicious breakfast prepared by Mike Tucker and his crew. Breakfast begins at 8 a.m., and the talk will begin around 8:30 a.m. A suggested donation of $10 per person will also be accepted via cash/check at the door. Childcare will be offered. Please note in your RSVP if you expect to use it.
