Below are brief descriptions of our available presentations, events, and courses
American Heritage Academy
This unique course was just completed and is our new primary lecture series! The American Heritage Academy (AHA) is an in-depth, multi-lecture, educational course that covers the origins of our nation and the philosophy that made it possible. This course consists of 10 recorded 30 minute lectures and are presented by a hand-picked instructor from our organization. This series of lectures includes the opportunity for Q&A with our instructors so that the students can best comprehend the key principles of these lectures.
We will send an instructor to your group and he will run the recorded lectures, and then add any supplementary information that the instructor thinks would be beneficial to better comprehension. The instructor will also provide for Q&A opportunities.
For more details or questions, please feel free to email our Executive Director at dspetolicchio@gmail.com
Liberty Breakfast
The Liberty Breakfast is a new presentation format that allows participants to enjoy a casual meal with other like-minded individuals, and then engage in an interactive review and discussion of a specific topic related to the Constitution, the Founding Fathers or relevant historic documents.
The Liberty Breakfast is held on a rotating basis across Pennsylvania, and topics and instructors may vary from location to location. Participants are responsible for the cost of their meal. (Duration: 2-3 HR)
A More Perfect Union
…was developed by the National Center for Constitutional Studies and is based upon a nationally broadcast motion picture made to commemorate the Bicentennial of the Constitution.
Perfect Union is a stand-alone course that chronicles the Founder’s struggle to draft a constitution that would firmly unite thirteen disparate states into one republic, and captures the debates, emotions and issues that confronted those men who gathered in Philadelphia to hammer out a new framework of government in 1787.
Perfect Union serves as both an excellent introductory course to constitutional classes as well as a general refresher for those who have already participated in other constitution-oriented education courses. (Duration: 3 HR)
The Birth Of Freedom
…was developed by the Acton Institute and outlines the unique principle of individual freedom, it’s roots and how it has become a pillar of our United States of America, and how our Founding Fathers were hoping that the concept would spread.
Why would anyone believe that all men were created equal and that all should be free? Why would any nation consider this a self-evident truth? For millions around the world who have never tasted liberty, and for those of us who have but have forgotten, the question cries for an answer. How was freedom born? (Duration: 3 HR)
Liberty Wine Social
The Liberty Wine Social is a very casual and relaxing event that is free to attend. The wine social is an event where our organization reaches out to government officials of a variety of levels, and tries to create an informal meet-and-greet opportunity for local citizens and their government officials.
COOL is using this to raise funding by partnering with local businesses to receive a percentage of all wine sales. This is a new event and more details will be released as we perfect this event planning.
