There have been one special meeting
and six regular meetings which have
been well attended. With one excep-
tion have visited every club Ia the
State to which ] have been invited
and these occasions have been most
enjoyable, and / have felt glad TO
become better acquainted with the
club women of Delaware.
Last year it was our pleasure to
welcome the Rehoboth Village I'M
provement Association into the Fed
Grafton and that they invited us TO hold
our fourteenth annual meeting with
them speaks well for their future. This
year we were equally pleased to have
the Newark New Century Club make
application for membership We have
long felt that We should have the CO.
operation of these women from our
College Town.
"The complaints that have heard
most frequently have been that the
weekly meetings are not well attend
ed.
Apparently many club women have
not yet fully realized just what the
movement stands for; that every COM
mittee is working for the uplift of hui
manity; that every club, no matter
how small, can be power for good in
the community; that every woman can
do something. II every woman could
be made to realize that she is a part
of the Federation and that she has a
personal responsibility, what a mighty
factor We might be in our town and
state for civic and moral uplift. Give
to the world the best you have and the
best will come back TO you
