Meyer, president of Concordia Seminary, delivered an address regarding current events and future plans at the Seminary and served as preacher at the Jubilarian Service on June 1.

Activities for alumni women included a May 31 lunch hosted by Diane Meyer and a June 1 brunch hosted by the Concordia Seminary Guild.
