The Bill of Rights dinner held at the Boston Park Plaza hotel on May 31, 2007 was a huge success!  Attended by more than 700 guests, it was the ACLU Foundation of Massachusetts’ largest Bill of Rights dinner ever.

The evening honored Lt. Commander Charles Swift and Georgetown Law Professor Neal Katyal, lead counsel in the groundbreaking U.S. Supreme Court case Hamdan v. Rumsfeld.  Keith Olbermann, of the MSNBC show “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” spoke, and humorist Roy Blount Jr, contributed his wit to the festivities.

Frank and Ellen Fisher offered a $50,000 Challenge Match and which was quickly met by the end of the evening.

Stay tuned for an announcement of the 2008 dinner in the spring of 2008!
