[Note] This is the invitation to the ceremony at which Fr. Pascall received the Hummingbird Medal (Silver) for community service — the medal whose story runs through this archive (see A30, THE BOMB's account of the awards, and A61, the presentation photograph earlier in this album). 31 August 1971 was indeed a Tuesday, as the card states. The card survives folded and foxed; this copy is cropped tight to the card and the paper evened, with the foxing left as it is.
