[Guest guest]

Fellow Chiarians,

We received an invitation today to attend the above meeting. The major purpose

of the invitation is probably to ensure wide attendance but it is nice to be

recognized as a group. A copy of the invitation is noted below. If you want

to hear/see Steve Young, (SF football hero), in person, follow the directions in

the letter.
