Dear Governor Homer:

Confirming our phone conversation of this date, beg to
state that we have made arrangements for the picture to be
taken a week from Monday, which is the 24th.

Now, regarding our meeting of the Board of Directors
last evening. We are very happy to follow your instructions
in the matter and I have arranged to have Gerald Hesse and
his committee of R. W. MeClure and John Brand work on the
available speakers. Corlett Cotton end his committee will
work on the music. Our publicity committee for the District
Conference of April 30 and May 1, to emphasize the date, is
Fred Ellsworth, K. #. Davidson and Dolph Simons.

I would like to ask you one question ~- what will be the
theme of the conference? This will naturally effect our music
and our selection of a speaker. We want to get a snappy, peppy
ee ee
speaker is announced.

The on-to-Topeka comaittee is Roger Allen, Cecil Hough,
Corlett Cotten and Tom Parker. I had thought also of suggest-
ing that we have a friendship half hour in which the women of
the host alub at Topeka will do the pepper-upper stuff.

Hesse, the cheiyman of our committee on selestion of a speaker.
