SCHEIDLER SPEAKS TO LLDF DINNER

A roomful of attorneys? Sounds like a place to avoid—not seek out. But for the 100 pro-lifers who attended the second annual LLDF dinner on August 24th at the champagne caves of Gloria Ferrer, it was a different story. . . .

Joe Scheidler, the pre-eminent pro-life activist, wowed his audience with stories of his legal bills (which far exceed our annual budget) and of his conversions of abortionists which brought genuine tears to the eyes of even the most hardened attorney present.

Attendees at this Second Annual Dinner not only included some of our greatest volunteer attorneys and their guests, but also some of their past (and current) clients. Other attendees included some of our generous donors.

All in all, it’s never a typical attorney dinner when you bring together such an unselfish group. And with a view of the beautiful Napa Valley in the background, exceptional food and wine. . . . Join us next year—and spend an evening to remember!
