will be on hand for the Grand Ole

Members of the club have been
working nights for the past few

wooden stands and positioning
them across the main floor of the
arena to make sure that the
maximum number of seats are
ready as well as making sure that
all will have an equal chance to
see and hear from their position.

as the date when taxes will be
come due, with a penalty of 4%
for late remittance. After Jan-
uary 1, 1966, interest at the rate
of 6% per year will be charged
for late remittance.
