Those members with an interest in serving as an officer are asked to contact Evans, Mrs. Bauer, or Jeanne Gardiner, out-going president.

He would like to see a big fishing contest backed by the merchants or chamber of commerce and held either before Memorial Day or after Labor Day; Bogart also presented a promotional idea of creating a videotape of the events sponsored by the chamber and taking it to the various trade, chamber and RV shows to let people know what goes on and what's available in Syracuse. This idea met with positive response from the members present and will be pursued. Sidewalk Sale Days are set for Thursday through Saturday, August 9-11.
