Allen 801 Louisiana Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: Re: Salvation Army 80th Anniversary Celebration Municipal Auditorium - Kansas City, Mo, Sunday, November 18, 1945 - 3:00 P. M. The friends of the Salvation Army in Greater Kansas City are organizing a great mass meeting to commemorate the 80th anniversary of this organization. On the program will appear General Evangeline Booth (R), the daughter of William Booth, the Founder of The Salvation Army. The General is an internationally famous speaker and this occasion will in all probability bring to the people of these central states the last opportunity to hear her in person as she, also, is observing her 80th anniversary this year. Music will be furnished for this event by the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra and the Bethany College Messiah Chorus of Lindsborg, Kansas. Because of your special interest in the Army, as indicated by your membership on our Advisory Board in your city, we should like very much to have you come and celebrate this occasion with us. I shall appreciate it if you will fill in and return the enclosed form and reserved seat tickets will be mailed to you. Cordially yours, she peak Shy
