BUSINESS SESSION 



President Greffrath : There is no need of taking action 

 on that. 



Mr. Work : Suppose we find these local places want meet- 

 ings of one day with a team of say three men. Is it feasible 

 for us to put through a deal of that sort? Is it desirable if 

 it is feasible? 



President Greffrath : I do not think at the present time 

 I would encourage that. We have not the funds, have we? 



Mr. Work: I think we could get help on that. That 

 would have to be looked into, and we should get quite a good 

 many members. 



Annual Report. 



President Greffrath : The next thing is the printing of 

 the Report. It was taken up by the Executive Committee. 

 The question was, should we try to cut down expenses by not 

 printing the Report? The majority of the Executive Com- 

 mittee thought favorably of it. One inducement that has 

 been held out to many new members is that they would re- 

 ceive a copy of the Report. Would it be good policy to cut 

 it out for this year? Members are looking for the Report. 



Mr. Warren : I for one think it would be a very unwise 

 move to cut out the Report. We have adopted in our meet- 

 ing yesterday an amendment to our constitution, saying that 

 we would charge five dollars for each association and ten 

 cents per member for all those having a membership above 

 fifty to unite with this Association. Using our Monroe 

 County Association as an example, we have four members 

 here. We have a membership of one hundred seventy-five. 

 If we expect to get many members from our Association, they 

 want to know what we are doing here as a State Association. 

 If we cannot show^ them by our Reports what we are doing, 

 I believe they are going to hesitate to vote to unite with the 

 Association. There are very few associations of this sort 

 that do not print a report. The people who stay at home 

 look for a full report afterwards. Those men will sit down 

 and read a report of that kind. Then they can make up their 

 minds whether they want to affiliate with the State Associa- 

 tion or not.
