Invitation to an Important Event
Corky Lane has asked me to forward this invitation to all of Fred’s magic club friends:
I would like to invite Fred's magical friends to an event held in his honor.
Loyola University Chicago School of Law is presenting their highest award, The Medal of Excellence, to your friend and magical colleague, Fred Lane.
You are cordially invited to the presentation on Saturday, October 4th, at 3pm in the ceremonial courtroom at Loyola University.
It’s quite large. The ceremony will be followed by an elegant reception with fun, music and hors d'oeuvres.
We are advised by Loyola that the school requires knowledge of who is coming, so for security purposes, RSVP is required no less than 3 days prior to the event.
Love,
Corky Lane
RSVP:
847-899-3400. cell or
847-835-3380 home
When you RSVP to the event you can get discount parking information from Corky.
Location:
Loyola University Chicago School of Law
25 E Pearson Street
Chicago, IL 60611
PS. Corky has asked me to forward this invitation to his magic club friends.
It was suggested that there may be an opportunity to do some magic at this event, though that is not it’s purpose. Magic isn’t required, but it may be a great opportunity.
I know there has been interviews and photoshoots at Fred's home at least 3 times.
It’s a big deal. And there will be some important people at this event. So business casual or sports coat would be appropriate.
