I am writing to invite you to participate in the singing of the National Anthem prior to The Cary Invasion basketball game on Saturday, June 21<sup>st</sup> at 6:00 PM. <span style='color:black'>The Cary Invasion will play the (Durham) Bull City Legacy for the Tobacco Road League’s Eastern Division Championship. The Police Department has been asked to present the colors. General manager Doc Thorne has said “I’d like to invite your group to perform the National Anthem during this presentation….I am inviting as many of your choral group as can attend because, well, the more of your singers who attend the bigger the show. Of course, any who choose to come may also stay for the game if they wish. Your arrival time would be 6PM.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Since we need to move quickly, I am asking you to respond at the following link: <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JJ66R9L">https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JJ66R9L</a> This is one of my famous 15 second surveys and will let me know who can or cannot participate.
