IBM WESTERN HEADQUARTERSLOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA

Your newly elected WRO IBM Club executive offices of the 1964 Club haveassumed office. Congratulations are in order to the winners for their fineshow in the recent elections. Thanks, also, to the runner-ups for theirinterest and efforts in the campaign.

Upon reflection of last year's club and of its many successes and nearsuccesses, I wish only to add my sincere thanks to the many individualswho devoted their time and efforts in pulling off our many endeavors of1963. It was a fine club year, in my mind, with credit due in part to theemployees of the Western'Region for their enthusiastic participation inand endorsement of the many successful club activities of 1963.

I cannot stress too greatly the fact that you must consider your IBM Clubbasically a responsive body; responsive to the demands you, individually,make of it. In the same light, however, the success of the club is whollydependent upon the efforts and interest you as individual members lend tothe club.

My congratulations, again, to Bill Beattie, your 1964 WRO IBM ClubPresident, and sincere wishes for success and good luck in guiding theWRO IBM Club along the path of 1964.
