G Ed Webb, general chair-
man for this year’s show and
immediate past president of the
Rotary Club, descrioed this
year's production as the most
perfect technically in the series
sponsored by the club.
“We could ask for
more.” he said.
A Pat Danie-s. president of
the Rotary Club of Alvin, said
that the show this year was a
“tremendous financial success ”
and expresses thanks to the
advertisers in the program, to
those who bought tickets, to
merchants who donated prizes
for the candy-sale promotion
and to those performers who
participated in the show.
“The money we raise is spent
on civic and charity •projects
which directly help or reflect
credit on Alvin.” Daniels said.
“With the additonal money
raired through this year’s show
we shall be able to expand our
activities Every dollar invert-
ed' ;n the Alvin Rotary Mins-
trel Show is a dollar which will
be well-spent, and we are grate-
