Cleveland Right to Life is pleased to announce that former Presidential candidate Ambassador Alan Keyes will be the keynote speaker at this year's Choose Life Luncheon, Friday, March 15, 2002. Ambassador Alan Keyes has a Doctorate from Harvard University and has twice been a United States presidential candidate. He has used these opportunities to highlight the hypocrisies of the abortion debate and to spearhead the pro-life movement into Black America. Alan Keyes is presently Volunteer Chairman of Black America's Political Action Committee.

He recently launched his own television show, "Alan Keyes is Making Sense," which appears weeknights on MSNBC. Anyone who has been privileged to hear Alan Keyes's message will attest to his visionary solution to the end of life issues that currently face ournation. He is perhaps the finest public speaker of our time. Bishop Roger Gries and Bishop A. James Quinn will be serving as Honorary Chairmen for the event. Among those serving on this year's host committee are State Treasurer Joe Deters, State Auditor Jim Petro, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, State Senator Bob Spada and State Reps Sally Conway Kilbane, Bryan Flannery, Dean DePiero and Ed Jerse, as well as community leaders Umberto Fedeli, Jack Breen and Dr. Ted Castele. The luncheon will take place from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at Windows on the River. Tickets are $60 per person and $500 per table of 10. There will be a silent auction and a raffle as part of this event and donations for this event are most welcome. All proceeds will benefit Cleveland Right to Life's educational programs including its innovative "Choose Life" education program which has brought the message of sanctity of life to over 10,000 area school children.
