[Annual Meeting Report] Once more the League of Women Voters of Honolulu has concluded an Anmnual Meeting. It was with regret we watched our very capable president, Mary George, preside at her last meeting.

Her right hand will be Fran McLeod, Voters' Service Chairman and the new first V.P. Ann Machovina will anchor at 2nd V.P. in charge of program same as last year while Vera Stern as secretary keeps the record straight. Mary Louise Garcia has taken over the books as treasurer from Margaret Wright who filled out an unexpired term. (How about sending in your dues to $10.00 to Mary Louise today??
