After a bounteous picnic dinner an organization was formed, followed by a short program. J. D. Wolfley gave a short history of the family. George Wolfley related some of his early school experiences. W. W. Oberheim gave an earnest talk adapted to the time and occasion. It would be well if we heeded the suggestions he offered. Mrs. C. W. Fuller recited a poem "Whispering Bill", which was very touching, yes very pathetic.

By a vote, the date and next meeting place was left to the officers elected for 1931.

Those elected are:
J. D. Wolfley, President
G. A. Wolfley, Vice-President
Mrs. Bertha Douglas, Secretary-Treasurer
