Sip, Shop & Socialize

Freedom is worth celebrating—and learning about. That’s why Institute on the Constitution Senior Instructor Larry Mayo is teaming up with the Sussex County GOP for a one-of-a-kind event that blends civic engagement with a festive end-of-summer atmosphere.

This Sip, Shop & Socialize isn’t your typical political gathering. Yes, you’ll meet local leaders and connect with like-minded community members, but you’ll also enjoy:

• 🎶 A live DJ to keep the energy up

• 🍹 Themed cocktails like the Melania Martini, Baron Blast, Kamikaze Kamala & the Pelosi

• 🛍️ The NEW First State Freedom Store – hats, flags, jewelry, home goods, gifts, hoodies & more

• 👕 Labor Day Shirt Special: $15 each or 2 for $25

Larry will be there in person with new IOTC apparel and information on upcoming classes, including the Declaration of Independence Mini-Course and the 12-Week U.S. Constitution Course beginning September 2nd in Delmar, DE.

"There’s no reason the Constitution has to be stuffy or boring. It’s the blueprint for liberty—and it’s worth understanding if we want to keep it," says Mayo.

This is also a chance for IOTC instructors and supporters to think bigger—partnering with local schools, homeschool groups, universities, law enforcement, and civic organizations to bring constitutional education to their communities.
