A five member committee was then appointed to go over the proposed constitution and make whatever changes it felt necessary to make it workable for the Ligonier group. The revised work was read to the 11 members present at the meeting. It was unanimously approved after some discussion. Since there was not a large crowd at the meeting the president Os the organization, Ken Schuman, decided it would be better to have the appointed nominating committee submit ballots to chamber members by mail to elect new officers. This is to be done in the near future. Dave Tranter reported back on his findings about printing a booklet for the chamber much like the Mie printed for the group in 1970. The new brochure will feature the addition of four pictures of interest in the community. The cost will be approximately 16V2 cents each for 2,000. Tranter and the officers were instructed to go ahead and get the booklet ready and print it in the near future.
