It has been because of this cooperative effort that this organization has progressed as much as it has during my tenure. We are indebted to each National Officer for the splendid work that he has performed. During the year I have received much correspondence from Brothers who have special concerns as well as from potential members inquiring about membership. I have responded promptly to every communication. I have written a total of 587 letters.
Communication is vital to the success of our organization.
This year you have received five issues of the Banner containing a total of 80 pages. This is a significant increase over past years, and we commend the Editor for producing a national periodical of journalistic merit. I have advised the Editor to avoid articles of a controversial nature which might alienate any readers. We can now be proud of our national publication. The Banner mailing group is also to be commended for the many hours they have spent preparing the issues for mailing.
