It was pointed out that quite a number of conventions have been booked for 1964 and that many organizations have indi- cated they would be here that year but have not set a definite date. It was also stated that

many organizations have been |

invited to have their meetings in the province during the cen- tennial celebrations but have not indicated that they would do, so.

The meeting was attended by representatives from various sections of the province, who expressed the hope that enter- tainment in 1964 could be done on a continuous basis during the year. Their main concern it was stated was trying to promote as many local events as was pos- sible.

It was pcirted out that the events for that year were not limited to just Charlottetown and Summerside but to all sections of the province. It is hoped that
