From: Diane French
Subject: June meeting
Yesterday I got a call from Amedee. He is not well. He didn't know if he could make the meeting. I told him not to worry about it but to just take care of himself. I called Wilson last night. He has arranged for Rose Rita Roy to speak about the Roy Family and Paincourt. We will still meet at the Central for dinner if you wish and go to the Church basement for the speaker and meeting. Ida would not be able to change the publicity at this late date so we kept the location the same. I notified Donna so she can tell the callers. Les, maybe you could put it on the web site.
