Please make sure that Bill Lusk and his followers are not present at this cerimony.
Will the fabulous four give him a passport to attend such a ceremony?
Just noticed this event is scheduled for 01-12-2008...hopefully there will not be a fabulous four by that time.
He should make plans to attend.
Just make sure his name is not on it!
Wish the cap in this picture could be removed, maybe the top of the head would be visible and could help in identification as to whether it is a card carrying democrat on council.
