There was some question back in the early eighties if His Honor was going to permit that fine, charitable organization to continue or if he would insist on busting it up also and forcing its disbandonment. I have not heard anything much about them lately however. They used to do a lot of very good work with handicapped people here; building special telephones for them, etc. If anyone reading this is a member, how about an update from your chapter of the Pioneers?
