Guest speaker for this meeting was David Osterhus of Osterhus Printing which has been a landmark business for 105 years. David, a graduate of Robbinsdale High School in 1951 said the beginnings were in 1901 by the Rev. C.S. Osterhus who was healed from tuberculosis and lived exactly 30 years more. He wanted to do more that preach so he started a correspondence and tract ministry which grew into the present business.
This meeting was attended by approximately 21 persons. Carolyn Lageson, Secretary
