PRESIDENT'S
P REPORT
At a recent Rotary meeting some introductions
were being made, and one concerned an individual
who was affiliated with a rather obscure trade
association. My tablemate remarked to the effect
that They'll set up just about any kind of an
organization these days, won't they?
That started me thinking. My thoughts went
back to a committee of the College on which I
served several years ago having to do with long-
range goals. It started me thinking that as a

from the annual meeting with the American Bar
Convention, and a more recent innovation, the
greatly expanded form of Probate Notes, formerly
the Newsletter. The thought behind the improve-
ment of Probate Notes has been discussed in
prior editorials and any reader of the last three
issues is aware of the fine results of this extra

reservation form. From all indications this

passed surroundings. Something for everyone!
Substantive programs with audience partici-
