This year’s agenda — a copy of which has been given to all
present is in the main, much the same as its predecessors. We have
come together to discuss problems of material nature as well as to
be inspired and uplifted. We must consider our coming Camp
seanson and pertinent matters pertaining to it. Ardis must be con-
sidered and discussed as well as the Sunday School work, Temper-
ance, Handicraft and Camp Library. Most particularly are we
interested in the work being done by our member Aids. We hope
that each one of us may return home enriched and full of worth-
while ideas gleaned from our sojourn here.
In passing, may we bring to your attention, the fact, that any
member of the Executive, who comes a distance to attend Executive
meetings, may have her travelling expenses paid to and from these
meetings.
May we also suggest that any of the Aids wishing to be hostesses
to next year’s Convention please notify us of your intentions during
the Convention or very early in the fall. Not having a definite
invitation for the Convention poses quite a problem to your
Executive.
Regarding Handicraft — there is the suggestion afoot that
Crafts at Camp be handled by the Camp Board. Gissur Eliasson,
who has much experience in this field of activity is in charge of
Crafts at Camp this season. If this proves successful the duties of
Handicraft Committee may be confined, in the future, to preparing
Handicraft Displays or program at the Convention. This year in
lieu of the customary display, we are showing an excellent film
on the making of Royal Doulton china and figurines. For this
privilege we are endebted to Anna Magnusson. Our sincere thanks
to Anne.
A very important matter before this Convention is that of
discussing and deciding upon a suitable memorial to Mrs. Bjerring
which is to be placed here in the Memorial Hall.
We invite the introduction of any business which the delegates
wish to present. We feel that much can be done to further the
work of the Lord and we welcome the opportunities to do so.
As you probably know, I am leaving about the end of August
for a year’s stay in Iceland, where I am to teach English in Reykja-
vik. During my absence the work of the President will be in
