Tabled pending further information was the request by Lillian Trager and Anne Statham for assistance in the funding of the public lecture, “Democracy in
Action: Global Implications” by Dr. William Rugh and Dr. Andrea Rugh on April 5-6.

It was with regret that the LFAC had to decline Rita Pyrillis’ request for $500 to fund the lecture and traditional drumming exhibition, “In the Spirit of Crazy Horse” by Jerry Clown. The reason for declining was the $480 that the LFAC allocated to two of Pyrillis’ projects at our previous meeting.
