Dear Mary and John, Greetings! My husband Andrew and I are on the Host committee for the 40th Anniversary dinner of CUA's Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies. Steve Schneck who I think you know is the Director, and the Saturday March 22nd dinner will honor Cardinal McCarrick and Sr. Carol Keehan. Elizabeth Bagley and Fred Rotondaro together are generously sponsoring a table for leaders in government and are hoping you would be able to join the table! The dinner will be at the Embassy Row Hotel on Mass. Avenue. It will be a wonderful evening, and moment to appreciate Cardinal "Ted" and Sr. Carol for all they have done for the common good. We know how busy your schedule is, but are hopeful it might permit you to join us for this evening as special guests. Warm regards, Alexia [IPR dinner image] Dear Friends of the Institute, As the director of the Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies, at The Catholic University of America, I'm excited to bring to your attention our 40th Anniversary Celebration!

McCarrick, archbishop emeritus of Washington.
