have sent our first visa invitation letter to one of our wonderful
international colleagues and hope that if you need one you will contact us very
soon. Here is a slight adjustment – please send your information
(see below) to both Ms. Nettie Pardue <u>and</u> Ms. Kelly Feder – they are
working as a team to help those of you who may need an invitation letter for
your visa appointments. The little cable cars that ride up and down the
hills of the streets of San Francisco are waiting for you to come and take a
lovely ride as you sightsee around the lovely city... – Lisa</span></font></p>
