very ambitious programs planned for the remainder of the year.

The Ledies' Auxiliary of the 18th Group, with Mrs. Vivien Brousseau as
President, is composed of mothers of the boys in the Group. This is e very
vital arm of our organization and we wish to thank them for all their assis-
tance in the past. :

The Group, which continues to be self-supporting through various fund-
reising projects, would like to thank any and all who have helped and suppor -
ted us in any way during the past year. Without this help, plus the zcal of
our leaders, our program would be unable to continue.

Respectfully submitted,
