GERALD LIBRARY Dear Art: I was certainly pleased to receive your letter and to know that you are home from the hospital and recovering nicely from your surgery. I hope and trust your progress will continue. Thanks for sending along the list of those who are pre- sently planning to attend the 30-30 Club Breakfast on November 28th. I will let you know the location of the breakfast as the time draws nearer. In an earlier letter you requested a print or copy of the Vice President Seal on an 8"X10" sheet. In checking with my legal counsel I find that there are a number of re- strictions placed on the use of the Vice Presidential Seal. For example, it is not allowed to reproduce the Seal on programs, napkins, etc. If you will let me know the specific need you have for the Seal, I will be happy to look into the matter again and see what can be worked out. Thank you again and I hope you will soon be completely re- covered. Warmest personal regards. Sincerely, Gerald R. Ford GRF:ml mildred 1220 Sylvan S.E. Grand Rapids, Michigan, 49506. June 5, 1974.

HOWE 1220 Sylvan SE Grand Rapids, MI 49506 March 22, 1974 Dear Member: We are now making plans to hold our 44th Annual Thanksgiving Breakfast Meeting in Washington, D.C., with Betty and Jerry Ford on Thursday morning, November 28, 1974. This trip is for members and their wives only. In checking into trans- portation from Grand Rapids to Washington, D.C., it has been decided that air travel would be the best form of transportation to use. The other form of transportation looked into was bus transportation. Research showed travel by bus would be a 16 hour continuous trip. Therefore, air transportation was decided to be the best because it R. FORD would be $88.00 per person round trip providing 25 or more leave from BERRICO only takes approximately three hours. The cost of the plane trip Grand Rapids as a group on Wednesday a.m. the 27th of November. You must return to Grand Rapids by the same airlines, but you have the choice of returning at any time you wish. The price of air fare is subject to change before November. Lodging in Washington, D.C., would cost approximately $30.30 a day for two persons in a single room. All food costs would be up to you. Most of us are planning on three nights in Washington. These days would include Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights. The total expenses for this trip excluding food would be approximately: Air Fare $176.00 Lodging 90.90 Total $266.90 We are asking members living in Michigan but outside of Grand Rapids to let us know if they will come to Grand Rapids and make the trip with us or make their own travel arrangements. Members outside of Michigan must make their own travel arrangements. We would like to make hotel/motel reservations for all members as we hope to have the breakfast in the place we stay. We know November is eight months away, but we have alot of work to be done on this so PLEASE let us know now if you plan on making this trip. Any comments you have on this trip should be by mail only. We will also need your full name and your wife's. If for any reason you feel you cannot make this trip financially or otherwise, please let us know. We may be able to help. PROMPTNESS IN HANDLING THIS MATTER WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
