Dear Governor ‘'Homer'!:

In planning your spring convention, hereis
a rib-tickling mirthquake to balance the heavier
speaker features and perhaps set a new ‘high! in
your District.

I am contacting you now so that you may bring
it up at your Governor's conference, if you wish.
If a series can be arranged in your sector it will
be easier on the budget.

Committeemen from coast to coast say it is
One of the few top-calibre features now before the
American public, and underneath all the belly-laughs
runs a rich vein of timely, vital Rotary philosophy.
The ideal spot for it is the banquet, though some
use me at a luncheon and others on the convention
floor. Where I appear in both spots there is no
extra charge.

An early 'inkle' from you indicating city and
date will help me tentatively arrange itinerary
and bring you all the horrible details; without
obligation, of course.

Rotarily yours for bigger, better and livelier
programs.
