Previous Meeting Highlights

October 2025 Inaugural Event

Our inaugural meeting in October was a tremendous success with 51 attendees coming together to learn about the Babcock Liberty Alliance.

We successfully launched our "Open Mic" segment, where several speakers took advantage of two minutes each to talk about any topic of their choosing without interruption.

Note: We will continue this format at future events. No matter your beliefs on the issues of the day, you are welcome to come speak during the open forum.
