Dr. F. G. Allen,
Kansas University,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Mr. Allen:

This letter is a reminder of the after dinner speech you
have agreed to make before the Kansas City, Kansas Church
Bowling League, Thursday night, April 27th.

The members of the league are indeed very much pleased
to know that you have so graciously accepted this invitation.

For your information, I am going to give you some of
the facts concerning this organization. The league was
organized in 1954. This is not a money prize league, in
other words no individual prizes are issued. We, however,
present to the church whose team wins the championship a
check for $25.00. This money is given to the church and
not to the individual players and must be used for the
benefit of that particular church.

The league funds are used for social events such as
luncheons during the bowling season and usually a banquet
at the end of the season, such as we are now planning.

In other words we bowl for the pleasure, sportsmanship and
the fellowship derived from this particular sport.

This banquet will be for the purpose of a good time--
in other words we want to forget the world turmoil for a
few minutes and enjoy ourselves. We trust and know that
you can talk on sports or other subjects not too serious.
