After supper the Wagonmaster called a short meeting. It had been discussed during the day that our Chapter, since quite a few were planning to attend, contribute something to the Birthday Party. It was decided that we would provide the ice cream. If Howard should get the ice cream donated from Blue Bell, then we have the ok to do something else.
