Holiday Brunch features presentation by Kent State University
historian about the 'Founding Fathers' and intentions

Kim Gruenwald, Ph.D., will be the featured speaker at the Dec.10 Holiday Brunch for 2022. Kim, an associate professor at Kent  State University, has been a faculty member with the History Department since 1995. She is a Kent League member, serving on the Board of Directors and chair of the Diversity Program Committee.

She will be sharing a historical perspective on democracy, it's creation, development and challenges. About her talk, Gruenwald says, "The musical Hamilton has made many American aware of how deeply divided our founding fathers were on a number of issues.  In addition, they were truly making it up as they went along."  So when you hear someone proclaim "our founding fathers intended,"  she asserts, Asking 'which one and at what point in his career?' is the only proper response.

The event will be held at Laziza Restaurant, 100 S. Depeyster, Kent, Ohio 44224 starting at 9 a.m.

The cost is $25 per person for the meal. Members can pay

• BY CHECK using the attached form
