[email protected] Chris: thank you for lunch today and for taking the time to meet. It's always nice to spend a great time with you, and I always enjoy our conversation. Thank you also for introducing me to Dan. Dan, it was a pleasure to meet you, and I am very excited about started working closely together on developing some great initiatives through the vehicle of the Foreign Press Association. As an immediate start and following up to our conversation let's focus on the two most immediate thing which is the Centennial Gala on November 8th at 7 World Trade Center (from 6.30 pm until 11 pm). The major supporters that will present their own corporation's major Scholarship Award are Microsoft and UnitedHealth Group with $50.000. Skybridge Capital of Scaramucci, CBS News, Procter & Gamble and Barilla Foundation are in the second category of the $25.000. Chris: following to our conversation what I want to please you kindly is if Ray approves that BAYER will be the number one supporter of the Foreign Press Association and Scholarship Awards above Microsoft and United Health Group. So far I have considered you in the level of the last year ($25.000). It will be an essential and valuable help to us to increase the level of the financial support to our scholars if BAYER becomes the Platinum supporter of the Foreign Press Scholarships on November 8th and also of the Centennial Drink Reception that will follow up in December (and we can combine it with a pre-Xmas party).
