SUMMARY:Brownstone Greater Boston Supper Club\, August 5\, 2025: Thomas Harrington
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILPlease join Brownstone Institute friends and supporters for an evening of lively conversation\, intriguing speakers\, and fun! This month we are pleased to welcome Thomas Harrington. \nAbout Thomas Harrington\nThomas Harrington is Professor Emeritus of Hispanic Studies at Trinity College in Hartford\, Connecticut. His academic research focuses on Iberian national identity movements\, intra-Iberian cultural relations\, theories of culture and Iberian migrations to the Americas. He is a three-time Fulbright Senior Scholar (Spain\, Uruguay and Italy) as well as the author of numerous articles and five books\, the latest being The Treason of the Experts: Covid and the Credentialed Class (2023). Many of his articles and a sample of his photography can be found at Words in The Pursuit of Light. He is a Senior Brownstone Scholar\, a Brownstone Fellow\, and a founding member of Brownstone Spain. \nAbout the Talk:\nWhile the power of the modern sciences rests heavily on its practitioners’ ability to analyze the constituent parts of complex physical phenomena\, the power of the humanities has traditionally lain in its ability to synthesize broad schemas meaning from disparate elements of the cultures that surround us. However\, as sciences began to generate significant advances and gain great social prestige in the late 19th century\, practitioners of the humanities lost faith in their essential synthesizing mission and began to ape the  analytical approach of scientists. The result has been disastrous for the humanities and our culture as it has left us largely unable to tackle complex social problems\, such as those attendant to public health\, with a minimum of  tact\, humility and historical perspective. \nVenue\nTremezzo is a friendly\, relaxed Italian eatery. We’ll enjoy appetizers\,  lasagna\, all you can eat Neapolitan brick oven pizza\, including vegetarian\, vegan\, and gluten-free (cauliflower crust) options\, salad and wine. \nLocation & Parking\n2 Lowell St\, Wilmington\, MA 01887. Parking is free in the lot outside the restaurant. Free overflow parking is available across the street\, next to the gas station\, at Colonial Park Plaza. \nRegistration\n$50 per person.  Space is limited so secure you seat early!   \nWhere to Stay\nSeveral hotels starting as low as $79 a night are located within a 4 mile radius of Tremezzo. \nFor more information contact Brianne at BrianneKrupsaw@gmail.com Please include “August Supper Club” in the subject line.

SUMMARY:Brownstone Midwest Supper Club\, August 11th\, 2025: Ashley Grogg\, Founder of Hoosiers for Medical Liberty
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILAugust 11 6:30PM – 9:30PM \nWe are pleased to announce the next meeting of the Brownstone Midwest Supper Club on Monday August 11\, featuring Ashley Grogg\, Founder of Hoosiers for Medical Liberty. \nAbout the talk:  \nAshley will unpack why informed decision-making on vaccines is currently impossible in Indiana\, what needs to change\, and what we\, as Hoosiers\, must do to protect the right to question\, research\, and choose without coercion. She’ll discuss why Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s influence is making possible real conversations about vaccine safety\, transparency\, and accountability. But we cannot sit back and expect the federal government to fix what’s broken. Indiana must lead the way. \nAbout Ashley Grogg: \nAshley Grogg is a master’s-prepared registered nurse and board-certified functional medicine practitioner from Indiana\, with nearly 20 years of experience in healthcare. \nAfter witnessing firsthand the catastrophic failures of our “sick-care” system\, Ashley left traditional healthcare in 2018 to launch Wellness Through Awareness\, where she now helps individuals take ownership of their health through education and functional laboratory review. \nIn February 2020\, Ashley founded Hoosiers for Medical Liberty\, an Indiana non-profit dedicated to legislative advocacy for bodily integrity. Driven by a passion to end unnecessary suffering\, she speaks boldly yet compassionately on some of the toughest issues in healthcare and public policy. \nRecent projects include initiatives to help healthcare professionals heal from moral injury\, Education on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System\, and co-hosting the globally ranked podcast Nurses Out Loud—a daily\, uncensored show from the America Out Loud Network. \nAshley’s mission is to awaken\, equip\, and advocate—restoring integrity to healthcare\, defending medical liberty\, and ending needless suffering by empowering others to reclaim their health\, their voice\, and their God-given right to informed decision-making. \nVenue & Details\nLennie’s is a beloved Bloomington institution known for its warm atmosphere\, exceptional cuisine\, and craft beer selection. For over 30 years\, Lennie’s has been bringing people together over delicious food and drink in a setting perfect for meaningful conversation. \nLocation & Parking\nLennie’s is located at 514 E.

SUMMARY:Brownstone Supper Club\, West Hartford\, August 20\, 2025: John Hart
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILSupper Club\, West Hartford\, August 20\, 2025 \nThe famed supper club at a fabulous venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of Brownstone Institute\, featuring Open the Books president John Hart. This organization has been on the front lines for fiscal transparency in government. It was first to explore Anthony Fauci’s salary of $480\,654\, the biggest in the federal workforce! \nCome early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends\, scholars\, writers\, and benefactors\, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion brilliant. Casual and fun\, even if some people come in fancier clothing. \nThis month we are deeply honored to host John Hart\, an experienced investigator of government who has been on the front lines with one central question: where is the money going? His organization Open the Books has developed vast databases of documentation that have helped reformers get a handle on waste\, abuse\, and fraud in government. He knows the system as well as any living person. \nJohn will share with us insights on what it is like to be in his position as a voice of fiscal sanity while working with DOGE in DC\, and what he has learned over the last several years in his role. We are thrilled to hear from him and hear his story of his experiences and what it has taught him about this highly contentious moment in public life.
