On behalf of President Pat, Districts 4 and 10 and myself, let me extend a warm invitation to each and every one of you to join with us  in extending a warm, federation welcome to Anthony D.

Special thanks and my “heartfelt” appreciation to Districts 10 and 4 who have worked so hard to make this truly a “heavenly luncheon” for you----so put on your bonnets and join in the festivities---

See you all there---
