sECRETARY's ANNUAL REPORT.
The executive board have held during
the year regular meetings the second
Monday of every month with the excep-
ton of one, the meeting in September
being omitted. In December a card
party and dance were given in the
town hall and in January play,
followed by an informal dance.
The proceeds of the two added to
our treasury little over one hundred
and seventy dollars. In March dance
was held in Masonic hall. In August
an excellent play was given in the town
hall by a few of the young ladies. The
pledge made last year of six hundred
dollars for Improvements on the school
park has been redeemed. There is still
more work to be done, but on account
of the new school building it was
thought best to wait until that was
completed. 1t is the earnest desire of
the society to work for the improve
ment of the village, and it is hoped
many more may become interested in
the work. Postals of notification of the
annual meeting and an urgent soicita-
ton of members have been sent through
out the village. 1t seems altogether
wrong that only seventy-fve dollars has
come from membership fees in this
whole village. The need today is more
interest and cooperation. The work of
the executive board this year will be to
that end. From the men we want adj
vice, suggestions, kindly criticisms and
all the money they can give US.
MRS. E. p. CUSHMAN, Secretary.
