SUMMARY:President John F. Kennedy and Vietnam\, A Conversation with Marc Selverstone
DESCRIPTION:Join The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza on Friday\, November 22 at 11:00 a.m. with presidential historian Marc Selverstone\, moderated by fellow presidential scholar Jeffrey Engel. Selverstone’s book\, The Kennedy Withdrawal: Camelot and the American Commitment to Vietnam\, uses presidential recordings to offer an inside look at presidential decision-making in this period of the Vietnam War. \nIn October 1963\, the United States publicly proposed the removal of American troops from Vietnam\, earning President John F. Kennedy an enduring reputation as a skeptic on the war. In fact\, Kennedy was ambivalent about withdrawal and was largely detached from its planning. Its details were the handiwork of Defense Secretary Robert McNamara\, who turned a loosely defined presidential aspiration into a systemic program for a U.S. troop withdrawal. Its announcement in October 1963 ultimately served Kennedy’s political needs\, allowing him to limit American involvement while preserving the U.S. commitment to South Vietnam. \nProgram tickets include a copy of the book and a light lunch reception. Book signing to follow the program. Tickets do not include Museum admission.

SUMMARY:Fall Into Giving Luggage Drive for Children in Foster Care
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, November 1\, from 9am – 5pm\, EMPOWER is hosting a luggage drive to provide children in foster care with their own luggage.  \nLuggage can be donated by dropping off in person at EMPOWER’s offices (Dallas and Allen locations)\, or by shopping the Amazon wish list. \nDallas office: 1820 Regal Row\, Dallas\, TX 75235\nAllen office: 760 North Watters Road\, Suite 100\, Allen\, TX 75013 \nEvery 45 seconds\, a child enters foster care in the United States and is removed from everything they have ever known. In Texas\, there are currently more than 13\,000 children in the foster care system.  \nEMPOWER is the Community-Based Care (CBC) contractor in Metroplex East region\, a nine-county area in North Texas including Dallas\, Grayson\, Fannin\, Collin\, Hunt\, Rockwall\, Kaufman\, Ellis and Navaro counties. The goal is to collect 400 brand new suitcases\, providing luggage for children in foster care within the Metroplex East region.  \nMany of these children have to carry their belongings in an old backpack\, a laundry basket or a garbage bag\, inadvertently sending a message that their personal possessions lack value. With the luggage drive\, the goal is to provide children with luggage so it is one less thing they have to worry about during this difficult transition.
