Ccmandation-Cornerstene Ceremony
I want to co=end you for the fine work you and your
staff did in handling the guest invitations and protocol arrangements
for our Cornerstone Ceremony on 3 November.
The problem of working out the priorities of seating
and the other arrangements was perhaps the most delicate phase of the
Ceremony arrangements. It required careful attention to detail to
set up and maintain the correct seating order and avoid giving offense
to anyone despite the many acceptances and cancellations which forced
constant pes up to the last minute.,
Your painstaking performance contributed very STAT
materially to the success of the Ceremony and I am most appreciative.
Please convey my special thanks to
understand he put in many hours of .hard work and provided strong
aistsnce to you in numerous wags.
Signed
