Greetings in 2015!

The Baker Center calendar of events is still under construction, but the following are 
some upcoming programs that have been set.  A few have asked about the next BDLS 
and we have several invitations out for the Baker Distinguished Lecture.  We will 
announce those as soon as they are set.  We do have a special event coming on 
Saturday, March 14.  We will be hosting an auction of Sen. Baker's car collection. The 
funds from this unique auction will support Baker Center programs.  More information to
