May Meeting:
“Milosevic for Money”

At our May meeting, GO member Rich Aldridge will talk about Slobodan Milosevic and the circumstances surrounding his capture in 2001. Milosevic, the former president of Serbia and Yugoslavia, was arrested last year and indicted for war crimes against Croatia. His United Nations war crimes trial began in February. Rich will discuss the controversy regarding what was essentially a kidnapping of Milosevic, with the ransom in the form of U.S. aid.

Join us on Saturday, April 20, at 8 p.m. at the home of Joy & Jeff Kiviat for an informative evening on economics in these taxing times. Call (314) 469-2723 for directions.
