There will be singing, the telling of stories (tall and otherwise) and the immobile type of games that go with a full stomach and a warm camp fire.

Recently returned from Pacific Grove, California, are Stanley Breitbard and Stephen Goldfarb. Steve and Stan were in attendance at the AZA District Silver Anniversary Convention which took place from June 28 to July 2. The boys represented the local AZA chapter which financed their trip up North.
Both boys are confident that what they learned at the Convention will play a great part, in putting San Diego AZA, which re-organized less than a year ago, solidly on its feet.
Stan, who is president of the chapter, and Steve, who is Secretary, invite any interested boy between the age of 14 and 21 to attend the next meeting which is to be held August 3 at Temple Beth Israel.
