Apart from the facts about who, what, where and when, Lewis wrote:
Our own Naples Press Club scored quite a coup when it was selected to host the 10th and final National Press Club “Centennial Forum.” Other forums have been held in Washington, D.C., and Denver and at the University of North Carolina and the University of Missouri.

Today, the club [ National Press Club] has the reputation of being the world’s leading journalism organization, having survived two world wars, a depression and the early stages of a digital revolution. The club hosts 70 or more luncheons a year featuring history makers and world leaders. The list over the years is eye-popping: Krushchev, deGaulle, Yeltsin, Mandela. The club has hosted kings and queens and every president since Theodore Roosevelt.
It’s quite an honor that Naples gets a chance to help the club celebrate its 100th year.
