new CLUB FOR
GLENWOOD SPRINGS
Young Men Hold preIimdry Meeting
with View to Organizing Com
merCIdl and Social Club

wood, realizing the fact that it is now
| time for them to take an interest in
the commercial welfare of the city,
have decided to organize young
men business and social club and
take hand in looking after the ad-
vertising and commercial business af-
fairs of Glenwood.
Accordingly, last Tuesday night a
crowd of the young men of Glenwood
met in the Hotel Glenwood parlor
pursuant to call by l.. H. Hall. OF
course several of the older citizens
were there also, as their advice is
very necessary to the successful or
ganization and carrying out of plans
for the proposed club.
l.. H. Hall was unanimously chosen
chairman and Ollie Thorson secretary
and the order of business was immedi-
ately taken up.
The chairman briefly explained the
object of the meeting to those who
were not fully acquainted with the
idea of the proposed organization and
requested that plans be discussed for
the successful launching of the new
project.
By way of starting the ball rolling
Dr. FLETCHER suggested that the Or
ganization be called tie Commercial
club.
Theodore Rosenberg replied by stat
ing that while the Doctors suggestion
wac good one he did not believe it
would be an appropriate name for the
young mems club as it would classify
it as a business club only, such as
board of trade or a chamber of com
melce. He believed name should
be chosen that would not imply that
the club was for the commercial well
fare of Glenwood alone, as he was
under the impression the new oIgani
cation would be for social and other
purposes as we'll as for the boosting
of the city.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Rosen
berg s remarks Sherwood Croker sug
gested that the name "Glenwood
club be chosen. This met with
general approval and will most likely
be selected as permanent.
A committee on bylaws was elected
composed of Senator Taylor, w. s.
Parkison, DIR. Fletcher, Ollie Thorson
and l.. H. Hall.
Senator Taylor in short talk. said,
among other things, that while he
classed himself as one of the old
ones he was perfectly willing to
assist the young men all he could and
would lend his advice and financial
aid to the club. In conclusion he re-
quested that general discussion be
had as to what should be drafted in
the bylaws SO that the committee
would have some idea as how best to
proceed in the matter of framing up
the document.
This request brought forth a few
words from almost every one present
and the discussion consumed most of
the evening
The idea of the club is to fix a
nominal initiation fee and reasonable
monthly dues-enough to keep up the
expenses of the club. Club rooms are
to be secured on the first floor of some
convenient building and paid secre-
tary will be put in charge. These
rooms are to be open to the public as
a general information bureau, and
no doubt will be source of much
pleasure to the many tourists coming
TO Glenwood who desire information
on our many pieces of interest. 1t
will be the duty of the secretary to
answer all correspondence and in every
way look after the interests of those
who visit our beautiful summer re.
sort.
The club will also do extensive ad-
vertising but in this they will receive
the financial cooperation of the Hot
Springs company and the business men
of Glenwood who will be benefited
accordingly.
The social features will be deter,
mined of course after the club is fully
organized and will no doubt prove
boon to our young men in that par
ticular line.
A collection was taken up to defray
whatever expenses which might be
incurred between now and the next
meeting and adjournment was taken
until next Wednesday night, June 8,
when meeting will be held at the
court house at 8 O'Clock.
Invitations will be sent to every
business man in Glenwood and it is
especially desired that every one re-
ceiving an invitation will respond
and il you are accidently overlooked
in the shuttle, come anyhow, for you
are wanted. This means You
