AF Member’s Lunch with Sen. Rand Paul

By: Tom Swanson

Good things happen when you attend AF events.

For example, Amanda Winther-Schorsch, an AF member, won a lunch with Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) at AF’s Gala back in May. Last week she finally got to cash in. In addition to lunch, the day included a tour of the U.S. Capitol and plenty of great discussion.  Here’s what Amanda had to say about the once-in-a-lifetime experience:

My friend and colleague Tim Hedberg and I had lunch with Senator Rand Paul last Thursday, and I wanted to write you to thank you and AF for making this possible. We ate in the private senate dining room, where we discussed current events, our work and interests, including online education and reaching young people through social media.

Afterwards, Tim and I were privileged to receive  a private tour of the capitol building. It was an inspiring and exciting lunch, certainly an extremely unique opportunity for me as a young professional to engage with the ideas of liberty on a different level.

The AF gala was my first AF event, and I know I will be back for more. Thank you again for making this possible!
