Dear John, 

Can you believe that in just a few weeks, millions of college students will begin their fall classes?

That means another semester of “learning” about the evils of America and Western civilization.

At ISI, we teach students the true story of the Western tradition. And we celebrate those who defend this great tradition.

That’s what our Gala for Western Civilization is all about.

You’re invited to join us Thursday, September 16, at the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. You and other ISI friends and supporters will come together to recognize the leaders, thinkers, and students who are fighting to preserve the Western tradition.

And if you’re an ISI alum under 30, registration is only $50!

At the Gala, you’ll hear from:

• Hillsdale College president Larry P. Arnn, who will give the keynote address
   
• Professor and prominent social critic Glenn C. Loury, who will receive ISI’s Faculty Award
   
• Philanthropist Diana Davis Spencer, who will receive ISI’s Charles H. Hoeflich Lifetime Achievement Award
