Tree of Life Annual Meeting

Featuring the renowned and semi-retired Tree of Life Prayers in their tribute, roast and toast of outgoing President...me!

Rumor has it that Stanley Lederman (who knows too much and is unbribable, trust me I've tried) has written a not-to-be-missed show. I know I'll be there. Please come to enjoy, laugh, and console.

Lot's of reasons to see you at The Tree,
Howard Elson
