Dear Friend:

As Chair of the New York State Assembly Subcommittee on Women Veterans, it is my great pleasure to invite you to join us in the Assembly Chamber in Albany on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 as we adopt a Legislative Resolution commemorating this year’s “Women Veterans’ Recognition Day” in New York State.

In recognition of this most important day, I would be honored to have you attend a brunch in Room 711A in the LOB from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.

As in years past, special seating will be available in the rear of the Assembly Chamber and in the 4th Floor Visitors’ Gallery for all our women veterans.

I would be honored to have you present as we salute the women who served so honorably in our nation’s armed forces. I sincerely hope you will be among those in attendance.

My colleagues and I look forward to welcoming you personally as the Assembly honors these special New York women. My personal best wishes to all!

Sincerely,
signature
