Jane Henderson took the podium once again to introduce Judge Executive David Fields. Fields welcomed the guests, especially those who were in Butler County for the first time. Fields underlined the amount of work that the women do in the community. "Hard work makes success" said Fields. "They do a great job, and all the work they do is always for somebody else."

Following the meal, an animation was displayed on the projector highlighting the local impact of the Butler County NSDAR. This also included a small quantity of local history, including the 100 year anniversary of a cease fire in WWI that occurred as a result of someone singing "Silent Night".
