116 JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS 1. Members of societies affiliated with the I.F.S.C.C., other than U.S. members. 2. U.S.A. members of S.C.C. 3. Nonmembers Because of the Teachers' Conference being held at Columbia University at the same time as our Congress in 1964, it is necessary for us to get our reser- vations in before June, _1963, in order to obtain more rooms than the 280 now held for us. First come, first served! BUDGET To accomplish our objective of making the 1964 Congress a scientific success, we must raise at least $25,000. Approximately 80 per cent of this is required to underwrite the expenses of invited speakers and to give some financial assistance to members of visiting societies. We plan to have six- teen speakers, of whom we would like to invite at least half from abroad. We have been guided by Mrs. Eunice Miner, Executive Director of the New York Academy of Sciences, in preparing our budget, based on the Academy's experiences with many similar scientific conferences. We must look to manufacturers of cosmetics and raw materials suppliers to under- write a substantial part of our budget. Plans are already under way for raising this money, with one of our former presidents, George Kolar, head- ing the fund-raising committee. RESERVATIONS To assist us in the organization of the meeting, it is essential that an estimate be made of the number of members, their families and friends who will attend. While it is appreciated that some members may not be able to give a firm commitment so far ahead, they are, nevertheless, asked to send the following information if they have a reasonable expectation of participating: number of adults and number of children in party and number of rooms desired. Please write to the Arrangements Chairman, Walter Wynne, Room 700, 321 West 44th Street, New York 36, N.Y., if there is any possibility that you will attend the 1964 I.F.S.C.C. Congress.
