New to Florida or forgot what you learned in your 8^th grade Florida civics class?

Then come learn about the Florida legislative process from someone who has experienced it firsthand. St. Pete attorney Ben Diamond (Yale B.A. ’00) served two terms in the Florida House of Representatives. He will educate us regarding the rules that govern our state legislators and share some of his experiences in the “sausage factory.”

Our April luncheon is CCSM's Red & White Meeting - so wear our school colors. It is the Club's Annual Meeting. We will be giving two framed art prints of Cornell rowing as two door prizes.
