On April 15, 2000, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon spoke at the Westin Hotel to at least 1200 guests. The guests started coming in at 11 AM to register, all quite eager to hear Mrs. Moon message entitled " The path for America and Humankind in the Last Days".

The program began at 11:30 AM with pre-entertainment provided by several groups, which included the Alhambra Calvary Chapel, The Filipino IBIG choral ensemble, the Nation of Islam and saxophonist Alvin McKinney. Mrs. Sheri Rueter was the pre-emcee, she did an excellent job in introducing all the performances.

The Alhambra Calvary Chapel had a group of youngsters ranging from pre-school to 8 grade. They provided a powerful Hip Hop dance to the tune of Kirk Franklin’s "Do you want a revolution?".

The Filipino Choral group sang several wonderful Christian songs. They had about 12 members on stage who sang several different parts for harmony.

The Nation of Islam performed two beautiful dances celebrating God’s love. They had beautiful gold costumes and flowing robes.

Alvin McKinney gave a beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace on his saxophone. It was amazing how he could reach the soprano level notes on an alto saxophone.

The Lunch served was very good, the main dish was Salmon, with a great dessert. Everyone said that they enjoyed the meal.
