Memo

Re: Corrections to Questionaire [Questionnaire] dated To: Dorothy Nell Saunders From: Vel Phillips

Because this questionaire [questionnaire] was dictated over the phone and there was no opportunity to proof read before mailing, there were mistakes which could lead to a misunderstanding. I favor a Sunday Luncheon and or a Cocktail Reception. However, I would like some open discussion. Also, I favor a souvenir of some kind but I concur with the majority anniversary committee recomendation [recommendation] for only one souvenir. Finally, we have never set forth a budget and I think this should be done as soon as possible. We should meet and clarify these things.
