It will be set up at the Hermans, friends of Tom's across the street from the foot-ball field. We think it will be open at noon on Sat. and be open all Sat. after-noon.

Dinner at 6:30 PM After a lengthy discussion about finances, and Marilyn W. offered the donation of the tent, it was decided that Jane would write up a paragraph on the expenses incurred by the committee and ask for donations. Any money left over will go into our 50th reunion fund. Jane will mention the items and give a total.
