Freedom Week

Ladies - FREEDOM WEEK begins on MONDAY!

We are the FIRST club on campus to celebrate WORLD FREEDOM DAY- the day the Berlin Wall Fall (Nov. 9, 1989), and honor our American men and women who have served in our Armed Forces on VETERANS DAY (Nov. 10)!!!!!

Alan Sears, President, CEO, and General Counsel of Alliance Defense Fund, also formerly with the Reagan administration will speak at our Freedom Week event at 5:30 pm, Wednesday, November 8th. Mr. Sears will talk about the fall of the Berlin Wall - freedom's victory over tyranny.

Freedom Week is also devoted to honoring our troops. To introduce Mr. Sears's lecture, the ASU ROTC color guard will post the colors and salute during the national anthem. Invite all your friends in the ROTC or military to attend this freedom celebration! We want to honor them and their service to our country! (PLEASE NOTE - there has been a location change from the Alumni Lounge 202 in the MU, to the Ventana C Ballroom 226 in the MU). This event is open to the public.

--We are hoping for an overwhelming turn out!!! Please make it a priority to invite your friends to this event!! As you know Bill Clinton spoke today on campus and Janet Napolitano will speak on Sunday. Let's make the conservative presence known on campus!!!
