We’re off to a great start of the year.
Acton Club attended a Wisconsin Forum dinner on Thursday, September 28 (last week) to hear a talk given by Owen Robinson of Boots and Sabers. Thanks to a generous grant from the Bradley Foundation, 5-6 students + a teacher can go to all 5 events at no cost this year.
Friday the 29th we met for our traditional fare of pizza at Barbiere’s.
Our next meeting will be this Thursday, October 5th after school in Mr. Noonan’s room. Our topic will be the speech Mr. Joseph Sobran was going to deliver last week at the Wisconsin Forum before hisinvitation was rescinded, entitled The End of Conservatism. Members – check your emails for the text of the speech. Snacks will be consumed, and we look forward to a most stimulating discussion. Hope to see you there!
For future meetings, we’ll be discussing Pope Benedict 16th’s controversial remarks, Three Stages of De-Hellenization, and ethical questions regarding interrogation/torture of terror suspects.
This is my first ever blog posting. Thanks for asking me to serve as the “Interim Moderator” this year in place of the critically acclaimed Mr. (soon to be Dr.) Haessler. I look forward to enlightening and entertaining discussions throughout the year.
Regards,
Mr. Noonan
