Please join us for on Wednesday, January 8 for SMRWF’s first luncheon of the year featuring two fascinating speakers, Loren Spivak and former State Senator Gloria Romero. Before becoming involved in politics, Loren worked for several nonprofits and as a management consultant. In 2009, he founded “Free Market Warrior” in an effort to make a positive difference in American politics and economics. His “Free Market Warrior” store was expelled from Concord Mills Mall in North Carolina in July 2009 for selling material critical of the Obama Administration (mall owners, Simon Property Group, were major Democratic donors). Always with a fresh take, Loren examines the issues of our time through the eyes of an economist and reveals fundamental truths underlying the political challenges we face. He writes unique parodies designed to teach conservative principles and offers conservative critiques in a humorous way. What former CA State Senator officially ditched the Democratic Party for the GOP and then had the honor of being a speaker at Trump’s rally in Coachella? You guessed it, our speaker, Gloria Romero! Gloria credits her political transformation to the leadership of President Trump for reforming the Republican Party with his America First policies which led her to endorse him. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear the fascinating story of why a prominent CA politician switched parties and became a Republican. Advance registration required by Monday, December 30. $58 for members; $67 for nonmembers/guests. Free valet parking.
