Dedication Ceremony Date Set, For Charters Of Freedom

The dedication event, for the Charters of Freedom, will be held on Friday October 25, at 1pm in Pulteney Park in Bath.  The public is invited to attend.

 

From The Charters Of Freedom Spokesperson:  Steuben County will be the 65^th Charters of Freedom setting permanently placed in communities across the country by Foundation Forward, a 501(c)(3) educational Nonprofit created by Vance and Mary Jo Patterson of Burke County, North Carolina.  The inspiration to set up Foundation Forward followed their first visit to the National Archives to see the founding documents.

Vance Patterson, Founder - “Seeing something our founding fathers had actually penned, and then seeing their signatures – Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Rutledge, Wilson, and the others, I just got goosebumps.  And, then when we moved over and saw those first three words of The Constitution, We The People, I actually got a lump in my throat.”  “It was really an emotional experience,” Vance recalled.  

The Pattersons now work to bring that emotional experience to communities across the country, having completed settings in Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, Missouri, Florida, California, Georgia and as far west as Wasilla, Alaska.
