UN Ambassador Danforth talks in Springfield

The meeting is at noon at the Oasis Convention Center, 2550 N. Glenstone Ave. Only Rotary members and invited guests may attend, according to a Rotary news release.

After the luncheon, Danforth will participate in a book-signing 1:15–1:30 p.m. for his 2006 book, “Faith and Politics: How the Moral Values Debate Divides America and How to Move Forward Together.”

While the Rotary event is closed to the public, Danforth will participate in a public discussion later today at Drury University’s Stone Chapel, at the corner of Central Street and Benton Avenue. The 3 p.m. visit is part of the W. Curtis Strube Ethics in Business and Lyceum Series. Tickets are free but must be obtained in advance; call the Springfield Metropolitan Bar Association at (417) 831-2783 to attend.

Danforth retired from the Senate in 1995 and has since become an author, a partner in an international law firm and a UN ambassador, according to a Drury news release.
