Dear President Phog:

I have your letter speaking of the dining-room of the Eldridge Hotel as air-
conditioned. I have written to all the clubs to find out the name of the Presidents
and Secretartfs and asking them to let me know how many will be in Lawrence on July 12.
Several clubs have already written me that they are expecting to bring four. A num-
ber of them state that they will let me know later how many can come. I believe
that in addition to the local members at Lawrence we shall have eighty others. Later
I may be able to give you more accurate figures.

Can you tell me yet where the meetings will be held in the morning so tha
I can tell the representatives where to come? We shall need tw :
hour for we wish the Presidents to gather in one room and the Secretarfgs in another.
I am enclosing the program suggested by the Chicago office. We are condensing it
into a one-day assembly.

I am glad that you wrote Gene Conklin directly, and to the other Governors.
Conklin wrote me that the subject of his talk at noon would be "The White Plumes
of Rotary" e e
———ee

He and John Feller will have charge of International Service at 3:50./I1 am
printing adjournment at 4:15 P.M. Then any who wish to remain and telk individually
can stay as long as they desire.

I hope that you can be there at nine o'clock and take charge of the bour of
Registration and Fellowship. Your genial countenance will spread good cheer when you
welcome all when they first arrive. I remember that at lawrence they used a card for
names that could slip in ones left pocket. I can think of no plan as good as that
and I shall print in advance the names of 211 officers and their town so that they can
be read ten feet away. I believe that will be better than having big cards ab tables.
I hope that most of the men can arrive in time to get acquainted to a large degree
before ten o'clock, for at 10:00. I.would like to have a couple songs and including
the singing have confined the Governor's Message to thirty minutes from 10:00 to 10:50.

__I hope that_nearly all can be there by 10:00. Am I mistaken in that hope? We shall
Zemein Inthe one frou “ee the morning. Have you any other suggestions that can
“be made in advance? ee en ree

Sincerely,
