Jim Schultz again did a super job organizing our state fair booth, and we had some dedicated workers in spite of the heat. Of course the building where we were was air conditioned, so once you got there it was fine. We acquired two new members, and talked to many others. A summary of all our sales is included in this issue.

There will be no September meeting since several of us will be attending the national in St. Louis, so please make every effort to attend the October 10th meeting on East 10th Street. If you arrive about 6 to 6:30 you will be able to come through the line and join us in the special dining room. We need to elect officers at this meeting so they can be installed in November. The slate of officers is included in this newsletter. Nominations may be made from the floor,and volunteers are certainly welcome.

Mark Nolen has assumed the duties of treasurer due to the resignation of John Lombardo. Please direct any checks or bills to Mark.

The Indianapolis Rose Society extends our sympathy to Tanya Erickson on the death of her mother.
