Otto Sutej has been selceted to be our representative to the N.F.C.A Convention this year. I have selected Otto due to his interest in all Croatian organizations and activities. Otto expressed an interest in attending the convention. I feel we will be well represented at the convention. Otto will be reimbursed for his air fare by the Society to attend the convention.

Jim Kresnik has been a representative for the past few years and is a midwest Boardmember of the N.F.C.A. He has done a fine job, and I'm sure he will continue to stay active in the N.F.C.A.

The April dinner will be meatloaf with all of the trimmings accompanied by good fiends and, fellow Society members. Don't miss it! Mark the date April 28th on your calendars.

In lieu of the monthly Sunday dinners during the summer we will have burger and hot dog! nights. Mark your calendars for the Weds nights of May 15, June 5th, and 19th, July 3rd and 17th and Aug. 7 and 21st. For $4.00 you will receive either 2 hot dogs or 1 hamburger, fries and a soft drink. Can't beat it any where.
