The secretary, Helen M. johnson,
made this report:
The record of the ninth year of the
Women's Auxiliary, does not differ ma
terially fIom those which have preceded
it. The meetings of the executive com
mittee, have been well attended and full
of interest. Enthusiasm in the work
and more particularly that which relates
to the increase of the building fund, has
not diminished.
At our monthly meeting June 10th in
response to call from the general secre-
tary, we pledged ourselves to raise for
this fund the sum of $4,000, in addition
to the $4,000 which we have already con-
trl buted
AS one step towards accomplishing
this, we propose to hold fair in City
Hall during the first week in April, which
we hope to render both attractive and
remunerative, and trust that we shall
have the aid and cooperation of the la
dies of the Auxiliary.
We thankfully acknowledge the receipt
e for rho hl1ildlnO
from Mrs. w. H. Baxter, Mrs. j. f. Lis
comb, Miss Wyer's class in Will1ston
Sunday school, and from High street
church Sunday school.
Since the last annual meeting there
have been eight regular and four special
meetings of the executive committee.
The ssewing circles, which continued
through the winter. and spring, met at
the house of our president, and were a
social success. while the articles made
were disposed of at the sale in June.
On February %, an entertainment was
given under the auspices of the execu-
| tive committee of the Young Ladies
Drill Glass, assisted BY Mrs. Abner Low
ell, reader.
June It'll, an apron sale and supper al
| the Y. NJ. G. A. rooms, netted us about
| $50.
| On the evening of November LIST, at the
same place, a reception and tea was Civ
en-, to welcome the new general secreta
nv, Mr.. Garland, which was very de
| lightful occasion. ri
Thursday afternoon, January 25th
| the executive committee visited the Aux
iliary to listen to an able paper on "Oul
| Girls from DR.. +. "a. Odiorne, after
which tea and chocolate were served.
Besides paying the sjahitors and meet
| ing other expenses we have been enabled
to re-carpet the reading room.
Stimulated by and grateful for gu
past success, we hopefully look forward
to accomplishing larger results in thu
| future.
