Sonto Gloro Volley snd Son Froncisco Hoo-Hoo Get-Together lo €oncot Five

Some 75 members of San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9 and Sania Clara Valley Hoo-Hoo Club 170 participated in an annual Joint Get-Together at the Chez Yvonne in Mountain View, Aprll 21. Santa Clara Club President Herb Crawford and San Francisco's Ben Ward directed the action, which included a Concat following dirlner.

Although a few of the Kittens "strayed" following the banquet, quick action by John Prime and "Buck" Buckley collared five of the slower-moving cats and, of course, these were given the "full treatment" by a crack Degree Team headed up by Snark Mike Coonan and Visiting Ofrficer Hugh Pessner.

Supplied with a little "catnip," however, the five Kittens came through the initiation with fur only slightly singed. Their faster cousins, the ones who escaped, were given fair warning that they would be "remembered" at the next Initiation.

The event officially got underway at 6:39 p.m. with a sponsored "happy hour," followed by the banquet at 7:39 p.m. and the Concat at9:09 p.m. The meeting was held in line with directives from the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo to increase memberships for the purpose of better supporting Hoo-Hoo International's Wood Promotional Committee.
