What Do We Do?

Front Range Objectivism (FRO) is an organization dedicated to understanding and advocating Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism along the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies.

Supper Talks: FROST (Front Range Objectivism Supper Talks) brings nationally known and respected Objectivist speakers to Denver for delicious dinners and stimulating lectures on a variety of topics several times per year. Anyone is welcome, including people unfamiliar with Objectivism.
Atlas Shrugged Reading Groups: These reading groups (ASRG) discuss the characters, events, and ideas of Ayn Rand's epic novel Atlas Shrugged over the course of twenty weekly meetings in the fall and spring. New groups will be created in the fall of 2010; subscribe to FROST to hear about them. Any fan of Atlas Shrugged with a serious interest in focused discussion the novel is welcome to join.
Objectivism Study Groups: Five FROG (Front Range Objectivism Group) study groups meet every month along the Front Range to discuss Objectivist writings. FROG members differ in the depth of their understanding of Objectivism, but all are committed to understanding the principles and practice of Objectivism in a friendly atmosphere.
Social Gatherings: FROLIC (Front Range Objectivism Laughter Ideas and Chow) organizes fun social gatherings for FRO, most notably the monthly Sunday Dinner at a Denver-area restaurant. All friendly people with a serious interest in or honest curiosity about Ayn Rand's philosophy are welcome.
Online Discussion and Activism: FRODO (Front Range Objectivism Discussion Online) is a partly moderated e-mail list, mostly for friendly conversation between the Objectivists actively involved in FRO. Here, we often share notable links and news items, as well as opportunities for activism.
Fundraising: FRO's "Free Books to Colorado Teachers" Project raises money once a year for the Ayn Rand Institute's Free Books to Teachers Program in Colorado.

In addition, Colorado has two active campus Objectivist clubs:

The Auraria Campus Objectivist Club meets weekly on campus to discuss Objectivism. In addition, the club hosts nationally-known Objectivist speakers. For more information, contact Kirk Barbera at johngalt.ucd@gmail.com.
The Boulder Objectivist Club meets regularly, as well as hosts speakers. For more information, contact Daniel Zurawski at trailriderdan@gmail.com.

FRO Members Speak

"After reading Atlas Shrugged, I was desiring to meet and discuss Ayn Rand's ideas with like-minded individuals. FRO more than fulfilled that desire for me. I am still very much a student of Objectivism, but being a member of FRO has helped me understand much of the philosophy in a short time, and apply it to my daily life." — Kelly Valenzuela, Financial Planning Assistant

"When I came to Colorado I felt an immediate sense of community with FRO. It is the most dedicated and best-organized Objectivist community group I've found in the country. It is, above all, an invaluable resource for the regular, interactive study of Objectivism--even for someone who's been already studying Objectivism for 15 years." — Ben B., Philosophy Professor.
