Fiesta Association plans fall fund appeal and reorganization
At a Friday night Fiesta Association meeting directors drafted a plan to liquidate a 2700 deficit from the festival week. The group aims to operate independently from the Chamber of Commerce, solicit funds in early fall, and finish debt settlement within 80 days. The association will reorganize so subscribers gain memberships and benefits, with Emil Frank to appoint a committee and report next meeting. The annual meeting may be a dinner.
