Dwight Eisenhower\u2019s 135th birthday anniversary will be commemorated at the Eisenhower Society\u2019s annual statue ceremony and luncheon. Join us for activities on Saturday, October 11 at 12 Noon by the Eisenhower at Gettysburg statue outside the Eisenhower Admissions Building at Gettysburg College. Readings from Eisenhower\u2019s memoirs, brief comments by Society officials, and a wreath laying will occur at the site. The Eisenhower Memorial and the Robert M. Hoffman Family Trust Scholarships will be presented to four Gettysburg College students. The Eisenhower Society ROTC Leadership Award will also be presented to an outstanding ROTC cadet.<\/p>\n

At 1 p.m. all are welcome to gather for luncheon at the Dobbin House. The buffet menu includes Chicken Coq Au Vin, Baked Ham with Pineapple Raisin Sauce, and Penne Pasta and Tomato Sauce. Vegetables include Rice Pilaf, Oven Roasted Potatoes, Buttered Dilled Carrots, and Green Beans Almondine. A 25-item salad bar, fresh baked breads, and desserts including Fudge Brownies, Blueberry Trifle, Gingerbread with Lemon Sauce and Colonial Pudding Cake will also be available. The price is $35 a person. Luncheon registration ends at 12 noon on Monday October 6.<\/p>\n

After lunch, our featured speaker is Professor Brian Black of Penn State University\/Altoona. An authority on American environmental history, Professor Black will speak on \u201cIke\u2019s Road Trip,\u201d the title of his recent book focused on Eisenhower\u2019s participation in a 1919 cross country army convoy. That experience planted the seeds of Eisenhower\u2019s interest in improving American transport through a national road system\u2014a project launched with the passage, during his presidency, of the National Highway Act. His book will be available at the luncheon, and he will gladly sign it at the conclusion of his program.<\/p>\n
