"Hello Ladies, I just wanted to thank you all for your advice and support...I'm going to Japan!  For those of you who were unable to make our First Friday Luncheon, our topic was "something most people don't know about you".  At the time, I had recently been nominated to interview for an exchange program in Japan for my company, Union Bank of California.  I interviewed last Monday and was just notified that I am one of four candidates selected from all over California to participate in this program.  I will be leaving the end of January and returning in three months.  All of your support has been invaluable and again, Thank You!"
