Mr. Roger Allen
President-Elect, The Rotary Club
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Roger:

We have learned of your election as president of the Rotary
Club of Lawrence for the coming year. Sincere congratulations
on this high honor bestowed upon you by the members of your
fine club.

This will be a memorable year for your club. It is going to
be a year of exacting demands upon you and your administration.
Surely, it is a fine tribute to one's leadership to be chosen
president of his club for any particular year -—- but how much
greater the tribute when the choice comes during a critical
year of many problems and much uncertainty.

It occurred to me that perhaps the two enclosed Rotary files
might offer a few helpful ideas. A little later you will receive
special material that is being prepared for the new presidents.
If you have made your committee appointments and you will let

us have the names of the chairmen, we will be pleased to forward
a few timely suggestions.

I hope you will let us know any time there is any way in which
we can be of service to you, and again -- congratulations and
best wishes.

Sincerely yours,

SECRETARIAT

  
   

Emerson Gause
