President Sez cont'd 



Many of you were in Great Falls at 

 our area meeting. I regret that I was 

 unable to spend much time there but it 

 seemed to be a very interesting and well 

 planned affair. There were several pro- 

 gram changes at the last minute due to 

 conflicts. However, the overall pro- 

 gram was a credit to the Cascade Dis- 

 trict Board and NACD Officials. 



Have a good summer and may your 

 crops be bountiful, whatever they may 

 be.
