FORT MYERS, Fla. (November 15, 2012) – The Academy at Shell Point invites Southwest Florida residents to attend an informative presentation, Russia Revisited, by Thomas Tyrell, retired lawyer and former economic advisor to the UK government. This presentation will take place on Tuesday, November 27, at 10am, in the Grand Cypress Room of The Woodlands at Shell Point Retirement Community. Tickets are required and the cost to attend this presentation is $10 per ticket.
Thomas provided three sessions in the Academy last fall on “Russia in The Twenty First Century – Who Lost The Peace Dividend?” This fall upon his return from the Isle of Man, he will share with us his perspective on Russia since then.
