The business meeting will convene at 2 p.m. at the Allen Senior Center. Roll call will be answered by naming a school and its location from your grade school days.

A welcome and history will be given Patricia Fredrickson and Dorothy Chisham, local Rapp historians.

Olson is coordinator of adult services at the Emporia Public Library. A report about district news will be given by Barbara Wells of Elmdale, the Kansas Federation of Republican Women 1st district director.
