We will roast Cousin Elmer W. Gielow. If we can get thirty (30) members out to this event, the council will save US$50.00. Excellent Chief Carlton wants to have only three cousins to perform the roasting and would like input as to whom these three should be. Cousin Bissen is unavailable because of his health. Let us work together on this and get this council back on its proverbial feet.
