Henry George was born in Philadelphia on September 2, 1839, so we’ll celebrate his 185th birthday on Labor Day. As usual, the event will be in a south Evanston back yard, beginning when we get some shade around 3:00, and continuing at least until dark (We do have indoor space in case of rain or extreme heat).
This is a potluck; bring something if you can and let Chuck know about it. Grilled sausages and some vegan stuff will be provided. All alumni, friends, and prospective students of the School are welcome but you must let us know you’re coming. Expect to find some soft drinks, beer, maybe wine if somebody brings some.
While the event is free, monetary donations to the School will be gratefully accepted.
