Points to Consider in Regard to Dinner Invitation List:
Representatives from both the ederal and provincial government should be invited - sensibilities should not be considered. Respective local representatives (Bart Maves & Gary Pillitteri) should have copies of letters sent to Premier, Governor-General and any other Ministers. Meetings should be arranged with the local representatives apprising them of all the special events being planned for the Bicentennial, the significance of the event, history and background of the library etc.
