                     RESOLUTION of APPRECIATION


Let It Be Hereby Known To All Those Present:


That the Director, officers and members of the Hillbilly Unit;  Ancient, Arabic
Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (A.A.O.N.M.S.) did meet at the Kena
Temple in Fairfax on Tuesday, the 12th day of January 1994, to do a small part
of our labor of love for the Crippled Childrens' Hospitals and Burns Institutes. 
 And, that we unanimously adopted the following resolution; 


Whereas:    That no man stands quite so tall as when he stoops to help a
            crippled child.  And,

Whereas:    The Shriners' Hospitals for Crippled Children and Burns
            Institutes provide outstanding care to children, without regard
            to race, religion, color or national origin, who have serious
            orthopedic problems or who have been severely burned.   And, 
            
Whereas:    Admission is based solely on medical need.  And, that there is
            never a charge for transportation, hospital services, or out-
            patient care rendered by a Shrine Facility.  That all revenues
            come from Shrine fund-raising events and contributions. And,

Whereas:    We are delighted that you transmitted a number of Sea
            containers for us to shelter our parade equipment and other
            material which support our year-round volunteer work for the
            Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children and Burns Institute.  
            And,

Whereas:    The members of the Hillbilly Unit do, individually and
            collectively, hereby extend our sincere appreciation and
            heartfelt gratitude for your generous gift.  It is therefore;

Resolved:   That an honorary membership in the 100-Million Dollar Club and
            that a copy of this small tribute of our heartfelt appreciation
            shall spread on the permanent record of this meeting.  That a
            suitably framed, signed copy of this token shall be delivered to
            the Presiding Officer of the Apex Precision Machine Company in
            their corporate offices.

Attest:




    Mickey Ander
    Secretary
