Again, we had a beautiful day at our September 11, 2003, luncheon.  We were honored to have the men and guests with us and most honored to have Dr. Peter Prosser to speak to us, on Iran and Iraq.  September 11, 2001, was a defining moment in American history.  Americans will always remember the events that took place on that day.  America faces vast challenges and 
opportunities in a fast changing world.  The safety of our citizens and a strong economy claim priority.  I look at "The spirit in America".  I look of our history and know why we see that spirit in
America. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

October 9th is our fall fashion show at Grand Affairs with Maureen Mottoleese and her daughter Teriy Abraham from "The Country Store".  They'll be showing the new fashions for the fall and winter months, also the men, yes, men will be modeling clothes from J.A. Banks clothiers. 
Your check or checks WILL be your RESERVATION, so mail them right away as your table is assigned after receiving your checks. A list should be included with names arid checks of all the people at your table.  If you are by yourself we will assign you to a table.  First come first table assignments. 

Thank you for your support at the luncheon, as we had over 100 people again this last luncheon. See you for the Fashion Show at Grand Affairs October 9, 2003, 11:30 A.M.

Your President,
Beverly
