This spring, the editor of Chronicles and his lovely wife, Gail, will be motoring from Rockford, Illinois, to San Antonio, Texas. If you live along the way or within driving distance of Tom’s route and would like to be a part of the Message of Hope Tour, call Christopher Check, executive vice president of The Rockford Institute, publisher of Chronicles, at (815) 964-5811.
Tom will be inspiring crowds at receptions, happy hours, lunches, dinners—that is, whatever events you are willing to help us set up—at the following destinations:

Even if you cannot join Tom and Gail or help us set up an event, you can send a large check to pay for gasoline and Motel 6 rooms.

Well this is all well and good for those in the south, but what about taking a tour of New England and coming into the belly of the beast? I know its not Dr. Fleming’s most favorite part of the country but there are a few traditionalists kicking around who prefer Old New England to the secular progressive nightmare that passes for community up here and would be receptive to a smart, knowledgeable and interesting lecture on “what is wrong with the world” (to paraphrase Chesterton).
At least consider it!
