First Annual National Urban Debate Dinner: APRIL 5, 2008
The
first National Urban Debate Dinner will be held Saturday night, April
5, 2008, in Chicago. Please reserve it for an evening of entertainment,
philanthropy, and nostalgia. Guests will gather at the University
Club of Chicago overlooking the city's new Millennium Park. Appropriately
underneath the crests of many of the country's Colleges and Universities,
guests will celebrate the urban debate movement and its ability literally
to transform the lives of our nation's youth. The Dinner will feature
as keynote speaker Department of Justice Special Counsel and United
States Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald in a rare public appearance.
Before dinner, the speaker and other the particularly distinguished
NAUDL supporters will host a private reception. And, throughout the
day and weekend, the NAUDL will facilitate gatherings of former debaters
by vintage and/or school. Most importantly, the festivities will celebrate
the urban debate movement. They will honor its history, report on
its present, and outline the NAUDL's vision for its future. And,
the NAUDL will introduce and bestow on a special honoree the first
annual National Urban Debate Champion award. Stay tuned for more
details. The NAUDL will be selling tables and individual tickets
shortly. Please email LennyGail@urbandebate.org if you would like
