It was agreed that Mr Fitzgerald and Mr Flynn should express to the Lions our wish to cooperate with them in every way, since this group has carried the burden of July 4 celebrations for many, many years and uses carnival proceeds for many worthwhile community purposes However, the TCC will request that, for the period in which the band will be performing nearby, the Club arrange with its concessionaire that there be no music accompanying the carnival rides Respectfully submitted, Ruth Mitchell , Recording Sec 'y 4Q ©G
