Lincoln's Legacy Programs and Update

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Last evenings presentation, Lincoln and Leadership, the first in a series of four entitled Lincoln's Legacy, sponsored by the Kaufman Foundation, was attended by nearly 200 individuals in the Helzberg Room of the Central Library at 14 W. 10th Street, Kansas City, Missouri.

Wine and appetizers were provided before the Panel discussion at no charge to those who called and registered before the meeting.

Free secured and covered parking was provided as well at no charge. The dress was business casual, but all manner of dress was represented.

The program lasted approximately one hour. A question and answer period followed.

Three MIB members attended, Nurse Rita, Cpl. Sample and myself.

The Central Library will host sessions two and three of the series next week Session two will deal with The Rail Splitter and the Railroads on Wednesday, February 11, at 6:30 p.m. This should prove to be interesting since Lincoln was a railroad lawyer.

Session three will follow the next evening. it will deal with Lincoln and the Homestead Act.

Plan to attend these interesting free programs. Call 816-701-3407 to register for the receptions that precede each program.
