Summer of Love: The Roots of a Counter-Culture

On Thursday, July 26, 2007, the Club will host David E. Smith, Founder
of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic and Executive Medical Director of the
Prometa Center for Addiction, activist Wavy Gravy, author and radio
commentator Scoop Nisker, and founder of Realist magazine, Paul Krassner
for the Summer of Love at 40: The Roots of a Counter-Culture.

In the summer of 1967, youths from all over the country converged on San
Francisco and laid the foundation for a socio-political legacy. Forty
years later, decisions made during the Summer of Love continue to have
an impact on our national politics and our lives. Join in a discussion
with panelists who witnessed the revelry and the impact of a summer that
shaped not only a generation, but a way of life.

The program will be $12 for members; $18 for non-members. Student and
group discounts may be accommodated. For more information, please visit
