The Words of In Jin Moon from 2011 |
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We are honored to announce the 2011 Annual Peace King Cup Fishing Tournament on the Hudson River commemorating True Parents' 52nd Holy Wedding Anniversary. It will be held on Saturday, May 7 from the Half Moon Bay Marina in New York. This providential and international tournament was established by our True Parents in April 2000 on the Hudson River and in August 2000 in Kodiak, Alaska. This year marks the eleventh consecutive year.
Everyone is invited to participate! The tournament gives participants the opportunity to connect directly with True Parents' deep love for fishing and the ocean providence. It takes place in the exact waters where they invested countless hours of devotion for the sake of restoring America and saving all of humankind.
A beautiful Tournament Booklet is being prepared for this event. Please consider placing your congratulations message or advertisement in the booklet by using the attached form.
