wants to be in the third division this year. Mrs. Litchfield will
assure them of better placement in this parade, and say that we will
try to avoid unfortunate placements in the future.

to our next meeting a list of all bands to be invited to participate, and
from this, we will decide whether or not we need another band. If we do,
Mrs Litchfield or Mr. Graustein will contact Col. Robert D. Carney, Jr.
