Breakfast with Simon and Millennial Makeover Authors in NYC Thursday, April 23

NDN is excited to return to New York City this week and invite you to join us this Thursday, April 23, for an event with Morley Winograd and Mike Hais, NDN's newest Fellows and two of the nation's leading voices on the Millennial Generation, the largest and most progressive American generation yet.

This week is an exciting one for us here at NDN: today, President Barack Obama is signing the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which will dramatically expand the nation's service programs. As Morley and Mike wrote in their critically acclaimed book, Millennial Makeover: MySpace, YouTube & the Future of American Politics, Millennials are  a "civic" generation, similar to the GI Generation or the "Greatest Generation," and committed to volunteerism and community service. 

Please check out Morley and Mike's new essay on the Serve America Act and be sure to see this special section of the April 14 edition of USA TODAY that features an op-ed by First Lady Michelle Obama and a report on Millennials' commitment to helping others that quotes Morley and Mike.

Millennial Makeover has just been released in paperback with a new afterword on the 2008 election. Millennials voted for Barack Obama by a 2:1 margin, and with close to 94 million Millennials eligible to vote by 2020, the GOP risks decades in the minority if it fails to connect with this demographic.

Please come join us for what promises to be a compelling discussion about Millennials and how their views and values will shape our society and its institutions for decades to come.

The breakfast will start at 8 a.m. at the Yale Club, Saybrook Room, 50 Vanderbilt Ave., on April 23. To RSVP, please click here.
