The Lincoln Club 43rd Annual Dinner
August 28 • 6:00 pm
As America marks 250 years of freedom, we are reminded that liberty is not inherited—it is protected, renewed, and defended by every generation. For the past 43 years, the Lincoln Club has answered that call, advancing the principles of freedom, opportunity, and responsible leadership. Tonight, we celebrate the legacy we’ve inherited and the future we’re determined to build.
