You are invited to honor our "40 Years of Faith Saints" at the Gala in the MC Grand Ballroom

Dear Brothers and Sisters, You are warmly invited to join us at a special banquet and gala to honor the early pioneers of our American Movement on Friday, December 10, 2010, at the Manhattan Center’s Grand Ballroom in New York City. This historic celebration, entitled “Honoring our Tradition: 40 Years of Faith,” marks the 40th anniversary of the 777 Couples’ Blessing, held in 1970, as well as the 43 Couples’ Blessing, held in 1969. We will honor members of the 777 and 43 Blessings who reside in the USA, as well as Unificationists in America who have attended our True Parents for 40 years or more, having joined our Movement before January of 1971. Your participation will help to support this meaningful event and express our gratitude to the precious elders of our Movement! The program will begin at 7:00 PM. A celebration meal will be followed by an evening of music, tributes, fellowship and dancing. Members of the 43 and 777 Couples’ Blessing, as well as those who joined our church before January of 1971, are invited as our honored guests. Tickets for those who would like to join in the celebration are available at $70 each, but must be purchased in advance to guarantee seating. To register and purchase tickets, visit the members’ homepage at www.unification.org, and click on the “Honoring Our Tradition” banner.

Members of the 777 and 43 Couples’ Blessing, or 40-year honorees who have not received your personal invitation can still register at the websites above, or you can contact your District Director for assistance. Honorees can also call Mrs. Betsy Jones or Mrs. Alice Boutte to register and receive your complementary ticket.
