Dear District Directors and State Leaders, Greetings in the love of God and true Parents. Please read the attached information from International HQs concerning the upcoming events on Korea on July 8th. You may distribute this memo as you see fit. The direction has come that America (in addition to other providential nations) should send 500 people to this event on July 8th. This, of course, is a huge number, but we will try our best. There are already a number of Americans in Korea, living there or attending the 120 day workshop or workshops in Cheong Pyeong.

We need to establish goals right away and begin to work on this. I assume all DDs should attend and state leaders, if possible. We have to consider the airfares and look for economical ways to do this. Please begin to discuss with your staff and communicate your plans to me. Initially, each district should strive to fulfill a goal of 10 - 20 people per district. This can include blessed families, single members, Ambassadors for Peace, clergy, etc.

Please get the word out right away to your families across tghe district so people can begin to think about the possibility of attending.

Thank you and God bless you.
