A message from Joseph L. Bast
President, The Heartland Institute

Dear Friends:

I am delighted to invite you to join fellow Heartland members, donors, advisors, and friends as The Heartland Institute celebrates 21 years of working hard for individual liberty and limited government.

On Tuesday, September 13, two of the country’s most distinguished and interesting proponents of individual liberty will be in Chicago to help The Heartland Institute celebrate its 21st Anniversary. They are:

• Dr. Caroline Hoxby, professor of economics at Harvard University and one of the country’s leading experts on the economics of public education and school choice.

• Dr. Jay Lehr, an internationally renowned motivational speaker, scientist, author, and science director for The Heartland Institute. Dr. Lehr is a leading critic of junk science and the threat it poses to our individual freedom.

Both Dr. Hoxby and Dr. Lehr are exciting public speakers who bring audiences to their feet, making this the perfect event to introduce your family, friends, and colleagues to The Heartland Institute.

The reception and dinner will take place once again in the spectacular Grand Ballroom of the Hilton Chicago Hotel in downtown Chicago. Last year more than 600 people attended!

Please join us on September 13 for an absolutely wonderful evening of fine food, great speakers, exceptional entertainment, and fascinating people to meet.
