The messengers to the 111th annual session of the Southern Baptist Convention acknowledge with gratitude the hospitality extended by the City of Houston and enjoyed through fellowship with Baptists in Houston and the Union Association.
We express appreciation to Mayor Louie Welch, to the city commissioners, to members of the service departments of the city, and to the management and personnel of the Sam Houston Coliseum for the efficient and courteous manner in which our needs have been recognized and met.
We further express appreciation to the local committees for many services and accommodations, and to the press, radio, and television for their effective cooperation.
