‘CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU H.E. BONING,YJR. MANAGER 1028 BALTIMORE AVE. . PHONE VICTOR 6688 Kan SAS City. Mrs SOURI March 7, 1940 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Athletics University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: As it has been several months since I've heard from you, I'm wondering if you're still planning to drop in the office one of these days and talk over arrangements for your. National Association of Basketball Coaches! meeting, or whether it will be necessary for us to iron out some of the details by mail. As it's rather late to attempt any direct mailings to individuals, I imagine we'll want to concentrate on advance newspaper publicity, most of which will be handled through Mr. Mc Bride. If we can help you any in this respect however, just let us know. We will need some rather detailed and specific information concerning your registration requirements, As I'm sure you know, we have a trained and experienced registration staff and will be glad to supply (without cost) all the necessary forms, equipment, and personnel to provide this service. If you're planning to be in Kansas City within the next few days, you can of course, ignore this letter, However, for your information, I'm enclosing samples of the registration forms which we ordinarily use, together with one of our stock badges, which are available at cost price-— ~05 cents each. These forms give you a triplicate registration record and enable us to get se -antemaeyek0- CE mesa lampaheatn from the individual, which you may want, Because we'll also need detailed information con- cerning hours, approximate number of people to be handled, ticket sales, and possible registration fees, we'll appreciate your filling out and re- turning to us the enclosed registration form, answering the questions which are checked in pencil, Please call on us for any help we can give you in completing your arrangements here, A Ze , HEB:JR - E.
