A regional summit of conservative leaders from 15 Western states, California to Kansas, headlines the Centennial Institute's crowded calendar of policy events for spring and summer 2010. "We'll take a July weekend and energize the Right for challenges ahead," said Centennial director John Andrews. The calendar in brief is outlined below.  Details will be announced soon for the Western Conservative Summit, Friday July 9 through Sunday July 11, at the Marriott South in Lone Tree, Colorado, between Denver and Colorado Springs.  A registration fee will be charged for that event.  Otherwise, the Centennial programs listed here are free and open to the public.  Reservations are required, however -- email your name and the number in your party to Centennial@ccu.edu.
