August 7' 1924' be to ge! better acquainted and thru informal discussion, develop ideas and suggestions for presentation from the convention floor at tomorrow morning's meeting. An officer or director will act as chairman of eaih table. It will be the aim, of course, to make every table geographically representatrve.

There is enclosed a preliminary program of the forthcoming quarterly meeting at Santa Cruz on August 22 and,23.

You will observe that all reports and addresses are scheduled for Friday, the first day of the convention, thus leaving the whole of Saturday morning for a general discussion participated in by all members.

In order to suggest topics for the general discussion on Saturday morning, it has been arranged to hold a luncheon meeting at 12:15 p.m. Friday, and a breakfast meeting at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. Those sessions will be informal and since all tables will include representatives from each district, are bound to develop a good number of ideas for presentation to the general meeting on Saturday morning.

The report of the Managing Director will be devoted to a discussion of the aims and objects of the Institute. and will include his recommendations as to how they may be attained. To date it has not been possible for him to present a specific program of action, but his Santa Cruz report u'ill supply it.

Whether or not the Santa Cruz gathering will be the success it should be, now depends on the membership. The program committee feel that they have arranged for a most interesting and constructive convention, but their plans will fall flat unless there is a large attendance.

Help to make it a 100 per c.ent meeting. Arrange rrot only to be present yourself, but bring with you any eligible non-members so that they may be gathered into the fold.

Please indicate on the enclosed form which members of your organization will attend. The arrangements with the hotel depend somewhat on the size of the convention. hence an earlv reply from you is essential.

Yours very truly, MILLWORK INSTITUTE HTD:MM OF CALIIFORNIA.
