 Announce ment was mads of m executive committee meeting 70 os held Monday night.
 Tho report of Commander Avery was as follows:
 ITO the officers and members or y-Glover Post. No. 6. Inc. Amer ican Leeicn, have the honor to present to you, this report as your eommarder for the past twelve months.
 Ut does not seem to mo that as I report to you this evening. twelve months have elapsed since you elected me to serve as your com mander. but as VIC look over the record of activities and accomplish ments. we may we'll sit back ana wonder how we crowded % much into . single year.
 Budget and Finances
 When you elected me to this of- flee, promised that the Post woula operate its finances on . budget plan. This has been done and we have been able to work within our budget with tho exception of | very few items.
 Past Commander E. E. Ogren drew up the budget and has hed the operation of it in hand. At the present time, our finances arc in . healthier condition than they have been for some time past You will get all the details from tho treas urer's report. However, 1t seems pru- dent at this time to mention that ' debt of about SsS0.oo (six hundred and fifty dollars) left to this ad- ministration has been reduced to about 31bo.ooo (one hundred and fifty dollarD.
 The handling of funds for . post of this size h no small task and much crerit is due to Pest Com- mander Ed Ogren for his faithful services as Post Treasurer and I wish to extend my personal thanks to him at this time.
 House Committee
 "The House Committee originally consisted of Carl Kalen. Roy Ems minger and George Kinkade. but when they stopped building houses in New Britain. Kalen left us and the duties have been ably taken care of by Comrades Ensminger and Kinkade. My thanks % out to them for their untiring services.
 "Boost and Pull'
 "Our monthly paper has been very valuable as . meeting notice and for keeping Post activities be- fore all of the Post members. I have tried to interest new people in its management. but the whole job has generelly fallen to Harry Jack son who has turned in his usual good work along with some of his other numerous duties.
 T would like to recommend that smother attempt be made to slightly enlarge the paper with the addition of . few more ads 70 that the pub lication may pay the Post . profit. This, think. is possible.
 Bylaw Revision
 "One of my first official acts after being elected was to appoint a committee to revise the bylaws and to make some changes for the good of the Post.
 This committee consisted of H. c. Jacksn, A. H. Petts and E. E. Ogren.
 Their recommendations have been submitted and are now in your hands for final approval.
 Membership
 "1n 1927. we had . paid up mem- bership of 564. Today. we have in- creased that number to 703. Les Golf was chairman of our 1893 membership campaign and deserves credit for many of it's accom- plish- ments. However. no membership re- port would be complete without the names of Orrin Curtis. Fred Hoff- man Dave Ogron Manvill0 Johnson.
