Members ai aur group were sa pleased with the write-up and ai course had quite a laugh about ail the dust and dirt and are haping that the folks who care for the-Town Hall won't think we grumbled about it. We had a grand time and everybody was s0 kind ta us enid aur group didn't really seem ta mind the dirt although I felt sorry for the mothers who couldn't find water to wash the warst of the dirt off the acrobatic dancers. We have sa much fun that we really don't mind thingi like that, and they ail say 'Thank You' for the kindiy things sald about them. Everyone was men- tloned but aur little lame girl, Nina Cremer, and I know that was absoluteiy an averslght and aiter her f it disappolntment she realized that many times names are omlttcd and she showed genu- ine pleasure because ai the klndly remarks 'about the reit. Many ai the klddles would like ta keep a copq ai the write-up and I dldn't have enough. Sa please send me a dozen more copies. Again thanklng yau, I arn Slncerely yours, Eleaxior Durna.
