to let you know that on June 28<sup>th</sup>, coming up, Mary Lou will be
celebrating her 80<sup>th</sup> Birthday. Because of the number – 80 –, it’s
one of those significant landmark birthdays, calling for some special attention
for the birthday girl.</p>

<p class="ydpb26dd7c0MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in">Our family will be gathering in
Toronto on Saturday, June 29<sup>th</sup>, to mark the event and to celebrate
together.<span> </span>We regret that we’re not able
on this occasion to expand the invitation list to include friends outside the
immediate family. However, I wanted to let you know that the birthday is happening,
and to welcome you to reach out with greetings to Mary Lou if you are able to
do so.</p>
