Paul Warner came to visit us and tell us about the Freedom Festival.

The past two events—Prayer Breakfast and Flag Retirement—have been very emotional and moving plus well attended. The Festival is excited about Elder Christofferson being the speaker at the June 26th Patriotic Service in the Marriott Center at 7 pm.  Free to the public with doors opening at 6 pm.

We talked about the Stadium of Fire and saw an overview of the past few years then talked of the costs and interesting personalities of the performers.  Tim McGraw will put on a good show and be on stage for about 70 minutes.  He recently won an award for his song, “Be humble and kind.”

Our Gala honorees are special people this year and the 30th at the Utah Valley Convention Center is where they will be given the Freedom Award.  It starts at 6:30 pm.
Go to freedomfestival.org for more information.  Thanks to the Rotary Club for their support.

Our speaker this week was Sven Wilson, professor and chair of the Political Science Department at BYU.  Sven is also the visionary and founder of the Character First movement as highlighted on the Doug Wright show on KSL radio . For this week's meeting,  Sven focused his thoughts on rejecting the populist movement circulating in today's politics and spoke about the necessity of a strong leader who shows compassion and isn't afraid to admit when he or she is wrong. Just another way to keep politics civil and promote goodwill in all aspects of life.
