Following an introduction by Reverend Paul Sawyer of Throop Memorial Church, Lyons will speak for half an hour followed by a half-hour question and answer period and then a one-hour reception with food and drink (non-alcoholic). This event is free and open to the public. 6:00 to 8:00 PM in the Los Angeles Room A on the third floor of the University-Student Union, CSULA.
