The next month this new group met at the Brunswick Hotel in Lancaster, with Leroy Christman presiding. Officers were elected as follows: Thomas A. Monk, President; Henry C. Kern, Vice-President; Robert S. Mayo, Treasurer; Kenneth E. Rockhold, Secretarty; and Eugene Fickes, Jacob Mueller, James Towers, Henry Huth, J. h. Shertzer, and Joseph Michaels as Directors; Frank Shaw, State Director.

   July 28th, 1946 the First Board of Directors Meeting was held at the cottage of Bob Mayo in the Long Level area. Working Committees were named for the coming year. Two names were proposed for the Chapter—"South Penn" and "Lincoln", the latter due to the fact that the historic Lincoln Highway passed through all four of the counties to be served by the new Chapter.

   At the regular meeting, held September 24, 1946, the membership voted 14 to 13 to use the name "Lincoln Chapter". The membership also voted to close the Charter as of October 1, 1946. A By-Laws Committee, headed by Frank Shaw, was also selected, which subsequently prepared and distributed the First Chapter By-Laws, as of November 27, 1946.
