• For Friday, we're planning a keynote speech at the opening session. We've extended an invitation to, what I'll call a senior national government official. I cannot reveal the name now because the logistics are not finalized yet. However, we're very optimistic, that the invitation will be responded to positively.

• And on Saturday afternoon, a reception will be held prior to the Celebration Banquet for all current and past Commissioners. As a subset of that, all past-commission chairs will be sponsored to attend as guests of the Commission. We're moving the banquet ahead one-hour and a half so that we can accommodate some additional recognition opportunities during the banquet ceremony. During the banquet, we will have all in attendance join us in champagne toast to the 20th anniversary of CALEA.

In addition, I would like to share that the city of Atlanta is making available a commemorative badge that's been struck in recognition of the 20th anniversary of CALEA. The cost of the badge is $35. They also have a lapel pin, struck in the same configuration as the badge, which is on sale for $6. The proceeds from the sales are going to the Atlanta Police Department to offset expenses for their portion of the sponsorship of this conference, and their participation in the 20th anniversary celebration. It's a beautiful badge, I encourage everyone to take a good strong look at it, and I think you'll be very, very happy if you were to have this as part of your commemoratives.
