The State of Antisemitism -What you need to Know Now
The Rotary Club of Northbrook invites all to join us for a special Rotary Club lunch meeting on November 15th when Trent Spoolistra, Anti-Defamation League [ADL], will discuss the current situation surrounding antisemitism from regional, national, and international levels.
This is a relevant topic and one we need to share NOW. In fact – if people used the Four Way test in their day-to-day life we might be able to end hate and racism. We have so much work to do. Let’s start by attending this important meeting and inviting friends from other clubs to come hear this message.
Trent Spoolstra is the Associate Regional Director for the Midwest office of the Anti-Defamation League in charge of young leadership development and Jewish community relations.
INVITE GUESTS: Our Rotary Club invites you to attend this important event. Tickets [$25] must be purchased in advance, are non-refundable, walk-ins cannot be accommodated. The lunch meeting is held at Hilton Chicago/Northbrook, 2855 Milwaukee Ave, Northbrook, IL, 60062. Check-in is noon, and the meeting runs from 12:15-1:30 pm and will include Q&A.
