At the last reunion in Salt Lake City in July your President Darrell Egner suggested that the time had come when we should probably terminate the scheduling of future National Reunions. However, objection to that suggestion was sufficiently strong enough to imply that maybe the continuation of the gathering should be reconsidered. If that is true we need to have two things happen. One, we need to have a Host City and two we need to have someone in the area of that city to coordinate the activities relating to the reunion.

In years past the members of the Association would compete for hosting the reunion. City representatives would come in to our Business Meeting and make presentations as to why their city should be selected for the next reunion. Then the members would vote as to which city they preferred. It was similar to that recently completed procedure used to determine where the next Olympic Games should be held.

Now the remaining active Association members are all in their mid-eighties and not willing or able to assume the task of handling the required reunion functions. It is obvious that more and more responsibility will fall on the Auxiliary in the future. I believe the initial thought in forming the Auxiliary was to insure the activities of the Association would continue to be carried out through action by members of the Auxiliary.

The suggestion of Nashville as the next reunion site came from someone and if that is more than a suggestion we need a sponsor to go along with it.
