September “NLG Presents” featured NLG member Carol Gray who spent 10 months in Cairo studying International Human Rights Law.  Carol gave a riveting personal account of the 18- day occupation of Tahrir Square that led to the fall of then President Mubarak.  She interspersed her account with her slides, videos of the demonstrations, and interviews with activists and people on the street.  A discussion followed about the nature and extent of the changes in the Egyptian government and society that have come about as a result of the uprising.

NLG Presents... participants attentively listen to a very inspiring report and continue their discussion afterward.

NLG Fall Sustainer Appreciation Event

In September, the Chapter held a cheese and wine appreciation reception for the NLG Sustainers.  This year, we had an intimate gathering and spent the evening nostalgically remembering the past and planning for the future (we even discussed a sailing cruise to Cape Cod on Rob Doyle’s boat!)

NLG Sustainers are our financial  backbone.  Thank you for being there for us!  Couldn’t do it without you.  To become a sustainer, go to page 11.
