To assure the successful outcome of this venture, all members are requested to reserve their tickets a® this time. The price of the tickets had been set at $1.50 to enable every member to attend. The price of the ticket must be paid at the time reservation is made and each purchase will be duly receipted. If every member consents to attend and purchases his tickets no later than September 3, then the successful outcome of the banquet will be assured and your officers can proceed to make the plans for an impressive observance of the occasion. On the other hand, if up to September 3rd, tickets will not be sold in sufficient numbers, the plans will be cancelled and all advance purchases will be refunded.
