community response to the 1952 Act of Congress that established the National Day of
Prayer (the first Thursday of May [President Reagan, 1988]) calling Americans of all
faiths to pray for our community, state, and national leaders.

The South Bay NDP will host approximately 500 government, civic and business
leaders, i.e., men and women from all walks of life and faiths from the 16 cities of
the South Bay. The national NDP Task Force estimates there are over 40,000 events
on this day and the South Bay NDP Breakfast is considered to be in the top 5%.
