Lawyers, Guns & Money

So many upcoming events!!!!!

1. The Indiana State Secretary of State's Office (SOS) is responsible for consumer protection within the state. The SOS is putting on a program about investment scams--how to recognize them, what the SOS is doing about them, etc., on Thursday, September 14, at noon at the Lafayette Courtyard Marriott. The SOS will present the documentary $cammed. Learn about how the SOS acts to protect Hoosiers from investment fraud. Register for this free event to Katrina Ent at kent@hirons.com.                                        *******************************************
2. Local attorney Kirk Freeman is giving a 3-hour presentation on Indiana Firearms Law on October 6, 2017, from 1:15 - 4: 15. The good news is that it takes place in a bar: Lafayette Brewing Company. The program is free, but I am not sure whether non-attorneys are invited. If you're interested, contact (alum) Mary Willis-Zell at mary.kfreeman@yahoo.com.    *******************************************
3.  The League of Women Voters, in conjunction with the PARA/LEGS program here at Ivy Tech Lafayette, is inaugurating a speaker series tentatively titled Democracy 101. Like all LWV programs, it is nonpartisan, and like most LWV programs--and almost everything on this blog--it is free. The first speaker will be Communications Professor Josh Scacco of Purdue, talking about Journalistic Ethics in a Digital Age. (This is the working title, and it might change, possibly to something catchier.) That presentation will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, October 16, right here at Ivy Tech, probably in the Lilly Rooms. Since the main sponsor of this event is the LWV, this will count as an off-campus event, even though it takes place on campus. ********************************************
4. This is not really an event so much as an announcement. You can register to vote through a new service offered by Ivy Tech. For those of you who avoid reading your email (and I don't blame you), log onto https://ivytech.turbovote.org/. Once you're there, you can register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and who knows what all else. No engagement points for registering to vote, but you do get engagement points for actually voting.   ********************************************
5. Finally, someone somewhere in Lafayette is giving a presentation on animal rights law. I don't know when or where or anything else, but I recently heard the tail end of a public service announcement about it. I will stay on the trail, because I know this is something that many of you find interesting. If you know anything about it, let me know!
