Because of the rapid growth and expansion of the University of Guelph Mrs. Trivers and Miss McKercher (with power to add) were asked on behalf of FWIO to request a hearing from the Board of Governors re- garding the preservation and expansion of Macdonald Institute at its present site and to inquire about future plans for Macdonald In« stitute and to report at the next board meet- ing. Saltfleet WI asked permission. and it was granted by FWIO. to scek admission of Mr. Erland Lee co-founder of the WI. into the Hall of Fame. The fall board meeting will be held at Guelph University December 7-10. 1965. Meetings of Board Directors With District Officers A great deal of planning and preparation goes into these meetings and each board direo tor strives for a closer relationship with her districts. It was apparent that all board direc- tors had worked CIOsely with their own district but did not know the other districts in their subdivision as well. Many pointed out that this is a starting point. the liaison position in which the board director finds herself is much more acceptable because of this meeting. The trend of proceedings for these meetings appeared to be toward prepared outlines and questionnaires. However many felt that a well conducted discussion period proved as effec- live. The thought uppermost in all minds and the sole reason for these meetings is to present problems and diswss them. and to present ideas and take advantage of the contacts. Each subdivision is unique and from the reâ€" ports no board director could use another diviâ€" sion as a pattern. Our northern directors found distance a barrier and must hold their meeting at a time more convenient for the disâ€" tricts. As an example one meeting was held prior to a district directors‘ meeting.
