Browne, University of Nebraska Secretary-Treasurer November 29, 1940 Mr. F. 0. Allen _ University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: Now that the time of year has arrived when we are all thinking of basketball, I have decided that it would be the proper time to drop you a line reminding you of the part you have played in the past in the National Association of Basketball Coaches, and the part that I hope you will continue to play in the future. As a member of the membership committee of this district, which is comprised of the states of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Nebraska, I am writing to you to let you know that we are on the job in an effort to make our district one hundred per cent, so that it may be possible for us to carry on the work of the Association in an aggressive manner. Having been a member before, you realize the good work which this group has been doing in the interest of basketball. I hope that you will continue to give us your support so that this work may be carried on in the future. It is my hope that you are planning to join the Association again this year. If so, I would appreciate receiving a check at your earliest convenience. As you know, the fee is $2.00 per year. Don't put this matter off. Take care of it today. Your $2.00 will help the Association a great deal in this work. Hoping that I may see you in New York at the National. Convention during the week of March 23rd, and wishing you a successful season, I remain, Very truly yours, A. aed er Membership Committee. Doane College Crete, Nebraska AFH:R
