To All A.C.E. Members:
Nebraska is one of the states not having an A.C. E. State Association. Thirty-six states have such an association and since it is usually the state organization that is responsible for the A.C.E. I. Conference, it seems we should give some consideration to establishing a Nebraska association.
The Omaha and Lincoln A.c.E. boards met Saturday, February 20, 1954 in Omaha to discuss the need for such an association.
Following are some of the things to be considered:
1. Dues. Each state Association pays annual dues of ~5, regardless of the number of members. Dues are paid tc A.:::.E. I. Since there are only two branches at this time, the Omaha and Lincoln branches of A.C.E. would each pay ~2.50 (two dollars and fifty cents) from their treasuries for the 1954-55 dues,
2. The uurnoses are very similar to the purposes of a local branch in their work for the education and welfare for chlldren except that a state association would "foster, encourage and coordinate the activi-ties of A,C.E. branches within the state or province, and stimulate the organization of new A.C.E. branches in communities where they are both needed and · wanted."
J. At the A.C.E.I. Regional dinners, the state president gives a report of the A.C.E. activities in the state. Up to date Nebraska has never had an opportunity to report.
4. There must be at least one general state meeting each year:
In view of the ab o ve consid e rations Are you in favor of a State A, C.E. Association?
