It was felt that the name had a wider scope than the one we had been using temporarily (The Tri-State Association) and would encourage new members from the entire section of the country as well as the initial group from Illinois and Wisconsin.
The first meeting was devoted primarily to organization. Officer elected to serve the group for the 1969-70 year were: William Rose (Waukegan, Illinois), President; Ray Machen (Brookfield, Wisconsin), Vice President-Historian; and Mrs. Lynn Sallee (Winneconne, Wisconsin), Secretary-Treasurer.
