MRS. EVELYN DODDS

SECRETARY November 14, 1967

Dear Executive Comn:ittee Member -

Just to remind you that because of the Turkey Day holiday, we are meeting
next Tuesday, repeat Tuesday, November 21, at 2 p.m. in the directors
room of the Fulton Federal Savings and Loan building, on the southwest
corner of Pryor and Edgewood.

Even though that is two days before Thanksgiving Day, we have a lot to be
thankful for and to be interested in.

For instance:

1, Our legal eagle, Hugh Peterson, Jr., has completed the
incorporation of our non-profit corporation to enable us to participate
in the 221-H rehab program. Mr. Peterson will brief us about the
workings of our non-profit corporation with its almost non-pronounceable
name... The Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal
Rehabilitation Corporation, Inc. (CACURRCI). How's that for a tongue
twister and a headline writer's headache ?

2. We have received official confirmation from John F. Thigpen,
Georgia FHA director, that we have been granted $96, 000 to cover the
rehabilitation of eight dwelling units.

3. To help CACURRCI get started PDQ on putting this grant to
work, Mr. Thigpen is delegating Otis M. Haire, Georgia FHA real estate
evaluator, to meet with us Tuesday and outline the steps that CACURRCI
must take.

4. Also to help us to get started with utmost speed, Lester H.
Perselis, AHA Associate Executive Director, will give us some specific
sites to consider.
we

So how we can begin active participation in 221-H will be the first order
of business Tuesday.

Also we will have a brief report from Herbert Waldrip, our Bedford-Pine
Associate Committee Chairman, on some recent developments in that
area,

Allin all, a full menu is presented for our pre-Thanksgiving meeting.

Chairman Sommerville and I will be very thankful if you can attend
and give us the benefit of your thinking.

Sincerely yours,

Li |uwsted

William S,. Howland
