Dear Member:

The Annual Meeting for Members will take place this year on Thursday afternoon, April 12th at 3:30 P.M.

We are most fortunate in that the Rockefeller Institute has granted us the privilege of holding our Meeting at the Caspary Auditorium. This unusually handsome building on 66th Street and York Avenue, with its tiled blue dome and its amphitheatre construction, is one of the most interesting architectural achievements in Manhattan, designed by Harrison and Abramovitz. In the early spring its setting among the beautiful shrubbery and flowers is a most refreshing sight.

The price for the entire program is $5.00 per person.

As space is limited in both the Auditorium and the Cocktail Lounge, we must ask that you invite no more than one guest and we will fill requests for reservations in the order in which we receive them.

Please fill out and return the enclosed card at your earliest convenience. Tickets must be paid for in advance. Kindly make checks payable to The American Federation of Arts.
