To honor President Ronald Reagan on the anniversary of his birthday, the President of the United States has designated that a program be held at President Reagan’s Memorial Site at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library each year. On this birthday, President Reagan’s 99th, special keynote speaker Elizabeth Dole will reflect on President Reagan from her perspective having served in the White House and the President’s Cabinet.

In addition, Ronald Reagan Foundation Board of Trustees chairman Frederick J. Ryan, Jr. will make a special announcement regarding the new Reagan Museum, a centerpiece of the upcoming Reagan Centennial birthday celebration, and other centennial events.
