3] The thank you letter sent from SBE Chapter 22 to Chapter 1 for helping out with the past SBE convention was reread. Of interest was the statement that SBE 30th anniversary will again be held at the Turning Stone Casino, September 22nd (a Thursday). Chapter 22 has been asked to spot light our very own Chapter 1 as the founding chapter and to be part of the celebration of 30 years. Discussion followed on how to obtain the best attendance from our members.
