Again we are asking your assistance in completing the questionaire on the reverse side. We have included a section for the Annual Dinner. This year the Board of Director's initiated several changes in order to reduce the cost that was underwritten by the Institute. We would appreciate hearing from those interested in attending the dinner, so that we may please the majority.
