board OF directors call meeting and fill
the vacancy on the board. and also ar
range for the annual meeting and cleo
ton of officers, which will probably be
some time in February. 1t is none too
early to begin to get ready for this an
nnal meeting, and it has also been sug-
gested that this event be made one that
will mark n long step forward in the pro-
gresS of the club. A banquet could be
held In the Monroe hall and one or two
speakers from abroad secured for the &C.
casion. whose talk would be not only in
structive but beneficial, in that it would
be along the line Of what other CONNER
cial clubs over the state are doing. The
annual meeting always renews interest
in the work of the club and fosters the
spirit Of getting together to work for
the good of the town.
