Zeta Boulé

The "Newsletter" appearing in this issue features the Archons of Zeta Boulé and their plans for entertaining the Grand Boule in New York City on July 28 to July 31, 1964. Under the leadership of Sire Archon Farrow R. Allen and General Chairman Archon Francis E. Rivers, unprecedented efforts are being made to make this a memorable event.

Zeta last entertained the Grand Boulé in 1923. There were seventeen subordinate Boulés at that time. The meeting place was the 137th Street YWCA, then the center of many fine social activities in New York's Harlem. But today, the great metropolis boasts of many major changes since 1923, in both physical and social structure. It is indeed an open city. Extensive and exquisite hotel accommodations are available; there are numerous excellent places of amusement, extending from the Hudson River to the Atlantic Ocean; the United Nations and the great concert halls, the legitimate theatres and many other institutions provide intellectual and cultural stimulation to satisfy all tastes and temperaments.

The story of the plans for this gigantic venture is being told in the "Newsletter" by the Archons of Zeta, through their officers and Chairmen of the various planning committees.

Members of Zeta at a meeting last year, cavorting at the news that the Executive Committee of the Grand Boulé had approved New York as the seat of the 1964 Biennium, took time out to have a photograph as if to say WELCOME.
