AS MAY approaches, more excite- Fl ment is developing about the meetings LASC has planned for the members.

On May 15 and 16, there will be a meeting at the Ramada Renaissance Hotel in Long Beach with the session continuing in Catalina on Saturday. Saturday morning, the l6th, at 9 a.m. all in attendance will depart for Catalina. At 6 p.m. dinner will be served at Solomons Landing, with the return trip scheduled to depart the island at 9:15 p.m. This should give us ample opportunity to look over the activities of the island plus enjoy fun and fellowship with others in the lumber community. Saturday night will be spent at the Ramada and on Sunday all can enjoy Long Beach and return leisurely to their respective homes.

On June 5, 6 and 7 Second Growth, now for those 40 years of age and under, will congregate for two days of meetings at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, San Diego. This great setting has long been a lavorite of the group. It's most conducive to a relaxed weekend with some very productive meetings. The group will gather Friday at 6:30 p.m. for an evening of socializing.

There will be speakers on Saturday and Sunday morning. Saturday afternoon is set aside for group discussion. The main banquet is Saturday evening and a brunch will be served on Sunday. Now is the time to mark calendars and get reservations in to LASC, if you haven't already done so.

The summer board of directors and general membership meeting will be held at the R itz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, Aug. 13, a Thursday. This will be an all day meeting, with anyone who wishes to stay over being able to do so. A fine location site, especially for an August meeting.

The Management Conference will be held in Palm Springs this year at the Marquis Hotel. Chairman is Dick Hawthorne of Northridge Lumber Co. The committee has met, reviewed possibilities for speakers and is now settling down to a theme and definite locks on speakers. From a time standpoint, all is on schedule and the members can look forward to an outstanding program in November.

. Re-organize as the Re-born Cheapest Lumber Association in the World (Re-CLAW) (at which time I will be paid $2 million as a one-time performance bonus). What do you mean the dealers will all return to their former associations? We'll still have the cheapest association in town. Low price alone will provide us the brand of loyalty an organization like ours truly deserves.....won't it?
