Cost: Free, donations accepted

Join Frassati at our table for the annual Greater Columbus Right to Life Banquet! The event starts at 6:15pm at Villa Milano, and  Steventhen Holland will deliver the keynote.
Steventhen’s life is the result of the gang-rape of an eighteen-year-old mentally challenged young woman. Incredibly, despite his mother’s lack of intellectual ability, homelessness, and a society that was constantly pressuring her to abort him, he survived.  However, his mother couldn’t care for him and placed him in foster care, where he was later adopted. He wouldn’t be reunited with his birth mother for over twenty-seven years.
Doors will open at 5:45.
Our tables should fill up!  If you RSVP with us, you NEED to be there! 🙂
