advises that Past Pres. Nancy Williams is working on the guest
list for our 75th anniversary celebration and is considering
extending and open invitation to the community to attend. Treas.

in." Members who volunteered to make specific contacts should
do so soonest. Sr. Member Dick Breton read a newspaper clipping

Immediate Past Pres. Don Nelson unearthed from the Belknap Agency
along with other Kiwanis artifacts.
