Dear Members of the Yale family in Germany,

In May I was able to attend my 35th reunion at Yale. The weather was glorious and I had a wonderful time catching up with old friends and meeting a surprising number of new ones. From authors, poets and playwrites to university presidents, from an AP photographer to a Houston city council member, investment bankers who are also woodworking and lawyers running non-profits, consultants who played music and actors who also run camps for kids, PTA volunteers and doctors on the cutting edge of ebola research. I was reminded just how much fun it is to hang out with Yalies!

On that note, if you are in Frankfurt this Thursday, join us for a Stammtisch at the Fichtekränzi, one of Frankfurt's oldest apple wine pubs. Please RSVP so we can reserve a table: laura.sprague@aya.yale.edu.

A save-the-date for Munich: Join us on October 26th for an evening with David Frum '82. 

David Frum is a writer at The Atlantic magazine and the author of many books, two dealing with the Trump presidency: the 2018 New York Times bestseller, Trumpocracy – The Corruption of the American Republic and Trumpocalypse – Restoring American Democracy, published in 2020. From 2001-2002, he served as a special assistant and speechwriter to President George W. Bush during and after the 9/11 attacks on the United States.

Frum earned a Bachelor and a Master of Arts in history at Yale (TD class of ’82), then a Doctor of Law degree at Harvard, where he served as president of the Harvard chapter of the Federalist society. He taught history Yale in 1986-87. He is a recognized intellectual leader of the American conservative movement and was one of the first and foremost conservative Republicans to sound the alarm about the challenges posed by the Trump presidency. 

With Trump under several federal indictments, what can we expect from him and his MAGA movement? And what are the odds that there will be a second Trump presidency? Do his challengers have a chance? Join us to discuss the state of the race.

This event will be live in Munich with a reception following the talk.

7pm, Amerikahaus Munich, Karolinenplatz 3, 80333 Munich

A YouTube link will be available to watch live on-line closer to the date. Watch this space or the Munich Dialogues on Democracy website.

 

As always, if you would like to organize a get-together in your town, we are happy to help get the word out. Have a fun summer and hope to see you at an upcoming event!

Boola Boola,

Bartley
