RESOLVED, That the Executive Committee does hereby rescind Board Resolution 1355, which changed the free admission day at the Legion of Honor to the first Wednesday of each month effective January 1, 2001, and establishes instead that each Tuesday in 2001 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. will be free admission day at the Legion; and, be it
