On Monday, September 10, Future Forum members will enjoy an after-hours tour of the new exhibit Bills, Bills, Bills: Lyndon Johnson as Senate Majority Leader.
Please join us at 6:15 p.m. for drinks in the lobby of the LBJ Library and Museum. We'll allow 30 minutes for you to renew your membership, enjoy a drink and mingle with fellow members.
Beginning at 6:45 p.m., we'll tour the exhibit, which covers Johnson's entire Senate career from his election in 1948 to his election to the vice-presidency in 1961. In a short period of time, Johnson redefined the role of Majority Leader from merely a go-between into the most powerful position in the Senate. We may even get a taste of the Johnson treatment from "Lyndon Johnson," as portrayed by actor Michael Stuart.
Following the tour, we'll enjoy a reception and remarks from Congressman Greg Laughlin. Laughlin will share anecdotes about his personal experiences as a Congressman from Texas.
Come learn about your Congress - past and present - and how it works (and doesn't, at times)! We hope you will join us for another great year of the Future Forum. We will have information about upcoming events and other fun and entertainment.
