This photo depicts Val Jellay entertaining guests at the luncheon.

Colour photo of a woman speaking into a microphone on a stand. She is standing behind a long rectangular table. There are several copies of a book stacked up on the table or on a display rack. Behind the woman, to the left of the frame, there is a large box, a large unidentified item, a tall wooden lectern, and a red fabric cover over an upright piano on the stage. Beside the piano, there is a floral bouquet in a tall vase and a small fire extinguisher affixed to the wall. There are colourful balloons in red, yellow, blue, and green hanging from the ceiling.
