Gathering Here
Della B. Lewis, corresponding sec
rotary of the Federated Women's
Clubs of Minnesota, has sent out the
preliminary announcement of the an
nual meeting of that organization
which is to be held in Sank Centre
September 26, q. %, 1911. The pro-
gram in detail will be issued later.
According to the announcement
made by the corresponding secretary,
the council will meet at $50 a. M,
Tuesday, Sept. 26; this to be followed
by the meeting of the executive board
at 1880. These meetings are to be
held in the Congregational church.
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock the
delegates will be given an automobile
and launchride to Spring Park where
they will be rendered an informal re-
ception at the cottage of Mrs. w. o.
P. Hilsdale.
Afternoon sessions are to be held at
2 O'Clock each day. Tuesdays and
Thursdays sessions are to be held in
the congregational church.
On Wednesday an all day session
will be held at the Minnesota Home
School for Girls, commencing at a.
m. Luncheon is to be served at the
school at l p. m. Inasmuch as the
separation of the girls from the boys
and the establishment of the school
for girls exclusively was due largely
to the efforts Of the women, the club
delegates to the Sank Centre meeting
are especially interested TN the school
and this will afford them an excellent
opportunity to give it a thorough in
spection.
Mrs. E. J. Lewis of Sank Centre has
charge of the arrangements for lodg-
ing, and all delegates should commun-
icate with her relative to this matter,
SO that quarters can be provided with
out delay or confusion. According to
the bylaws all clubs having a men,
bership of 100 or over are entitled to
three delegates, one of whom shall be
the president or her appointee. Clubs
having membership of less than 100
shall be entitled to two delegates, one
of whom shall be the president or her
appointee. The indications are that
there will be in the neighborhood of
two hundred delegates present at the
convention.
At this convention the following
officers are to be elected: president,
corresponding secretary, historian,
general federation secretary, and vice
presidents for districts, from one to
five inclusive.
The circular refers to the PROPOSE
ton that the Federated Clubs pre-
sent the Minnesota Home School for
Girls with an organ, and asks each
club to discuss the matter and in
struct its delegates to come to the
Sank Centre meeting prepared to act.
Preparations for the proper recep-
ton and entertainment of the visit
ing women are progressing satisfactor-
lily. Local committees have been APP
