SUMMARY:Brownstone Chicago Supper Club\, January 20\, 2026: Jeanne Ives
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILJanuary 20\, 2026 @ 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM \n$50 \nWe’re thrilled to feature Jeanne Ives to our Chicago Supper Club! \nJeanne Ives will offer critical insights into IL SB 1560. This bill\, signed into law by Governor JB Pritzker on July 31\, 2025\, makes Illinois the first state to mandate universal mental health screenings for public school students in grades 3 through 12\, with the state providing “free” resources to districts for implementation.  She argues that the law is not only costly but also potentially dangerous\, as it could enable unwarranted government intrusion into children’s lives and undermine parental authority—echoing her long-standing emphasis on limited government and family autonomy. Her perspective highlights concerns about the bill’s implications for privacy\, the risk of misdiagnosis or over-medication in a youth mental health crisis\, and the broader trend of state intervention in education\, informed by her firsthand knowledge of how such policies are crafted and debated in Springfield. \nAbout Jeanne Ives\nJeanne Ives is known for her outspoken advocacy on issues related to fiscal responsibility\, education\, and family rights. Ives graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point and served as an officer in the U.S. Army\, including a deployment during the Gulf War. After her military service\, she transitioned into the private sector before entering politics. She was elected as a Republican to the Illinois House of Representatives in 2012\, representing the 42nd District.  During her three terms in office (2013-2019)\, Ives gained a reputation as a principled conservative who often challenged establishment figures within her own party\, including then-Governor Bruce Rauner\, whom she narrowly lost to in the 2018 Republican gubernatorial primary.  Today\, Ives serves as the CEO of Breakthrough Ideas\, a conservative advocacy organization\, and hosts a weekly radio show on AM560 in Chicago\, where she discusses policy issues affecting Illinois families. \nVenue & Details \nBase Community Cafe\, 1200 W. 35th Street\, Chicago\, IL\nBase Community Café is nestled inside the Bridgeport Art Center – one of the city’s most vibrant cultural and event venues.  Chef Owner Paul Zavala creates bespoke seasonal cuisine with a chef’s eye and an artist’s heart.  All is served in a comfortable café with fantastic coffee! \nLocation and Parking \n\n1200 W. 35th Street\, Chicago\, IL 60609\nEnter on North Side off of Racine / 34th Place\nParking is available on the north side of the building.\n\n \nTicket Information\n$50 per person includes a family style dinner\, beer\, and wine.  Space is limited so secure your spot now! \nFor more information contact Jackie Sloan at Jackie@JackieSloanInc.com.  Please include “Supper Club” in the subject line. \nNo Media

SUMMARY:Brownstone Supper Club\, West Hartford\, January 21: Renaud Beauchard
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILOn Wednesday\, January 21\, 2025\, the beloved West Hartford Supper Club is pleased to welcome Renaud Beauchard\, a French journalist with Tocsin\, one of the largest independent media in France. He will discuss the parallels of what is happening in France and Europe more generally and trends in the US. \nButterfly is the venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of the Brownstone Institute. Come 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. \nBeauchard has been highly active with the Make America/Europe Great Again movement\, particularly the way in which attempts to control the microbial kingdom have so heavily attacked human liberty. He is an expert on French political dynamics especially during and after Covid totalitarianism\, and a critic of France’s impenetrable welfare/regulatory state. \nBeauchard is also a leader in the new media in France\, which is a much smaller sector there than here but driving the dissident movements. In his talk\, he will map out a possible future for Europe. \nSee you soon! \nNo Media
