Dear Brad, Nice talking with you last evening.
This association was established in February 14, 1979, in Los Angeles with 50 members of the accredited press.
Established as a nonprofit organization with the Secretary of State of California. The purpose of the organization was
simply journalists helping other journalists by providing story materials, without charge, covering technology,
entertainment, travel and fine dining.
We are now nearly 3,500 members strong, worldwide and our website is only for members as provided by government
restrictions. We no longer accept new members and plan to have a very large conference in Saint Paul in March.
Normally, to give the Excalibur Award it takes the votes of several members of the board. In this case our Bureau Chief in
Prior Lake, her husband and another group of members have dined at your restaurant several times. They love the food,
ambiance and service. Since our president, Sir VVilliam Singer is coming to The Twins for site inspections for the
conference, we felt it an opportunity to present two awards, one to your restaurant and another in Minneapolis to Murray's.
Members throughout the world may pick up on the story and get the restaurant into international guide books, etc.
We hope you will receive the award in the spirit with which it is given. We expect our group - four - to visit you on the night
of 18 November. Please confirm that this will be OK. Thanks.
Here is the press releases sent to the Prior Lake American Editor:
