The next sessions are in N.Y., D.C., and Philadelphia, and the application deadline is Monday. It’s really meant for people who love our country and want to make a civic contribution but want to learn more about what Bill Buckley and conservatism has had in mind about mediating institutions and good stewardship and the roots of things. It’s good reading, good conversation, good fellowship, and good food, too. I’ve been especially moved by the families who make sacrifices to make sure one spouse and then sometimes the other are a part of the program. Take a look this weekend, send it to someone who you think might be interested. I’m forever impressed with the people who are a part of this program. And I’ll see you in the spring and we’ll talk about gratitude if you join us. More of a pitch here. Go straight to the program page here.
National Review Institute (NRI) is the nonprofit 501(c)(3) journalistic think tank that supports the NR mission and 14 NRI fellows (including this author!), allowing them to do what they do best: Advance principled and practical conservative journalism. NRI is currently in the midst of its End-of-Year Fund Appeal and seeks to raise over $200,000 to support the work of the NRI fellows. Please consider giving a generous end-of-year tax-deductible contribution to NRI. Your gift, along with all those from the NR Nation, will provide the essential fuel for our mission to defend those consequential principles for which National Review has fought since 1955, and for which, with your support, it will carry the fight far into the future. Thank you for your consideration.
