"omenS auxiliary OF Outr190er
Club Expands.
The following statement has been
received from the Women's Auxiliary
Of the Autrigger Canoe Club:
During the month of August, 1912,
over one thousand names we're regis
tered in the record books of the Wo-
mems Auxiliary Of, the Outrigger Club
some seven hundred and fifty in
round numbers, and the balance of
two hundred and fifty, of guests. AS
this would indicate considerable acti.
witty in the club and frequent use Of
its privileges, a few words regarding
its status, may be Of interest
II was in March, 1909, that the Wo-
mems Auxiliary was organized In res
ponse to q request from the 0utrfg-
ger Club, which request was coupled
with the offer Of certain rights on the
grounds For a year or two. the Aux.
Hilary went on its quiet way housed
in primitive fashion in grass that
ched building and possessed of COM
paratively small membership, but be-
ing OF value To the young girls, the
mothers OF small children, teachers
and other women workers for whose
benefit II was primarily planned AT
ter a time however. as the quarters
were enlarged and improved and the
entire premises became more attract
I've, its desirabiIity from the social
standpoint evidenced itself more and
more. This was shown by the fire.
Quent use OF the banana tree leaves
for tea parties and supper in connec-
ton with swimming parties. as well
as bachelors. Finally on account Of the
ever-increasing number OF applica-
lions for membership and the nom
elasticity of accommodations II was
decided after due notice and proper
consideration, to limit the member
ship to two hundred. and the neces-
sary change In the constitution was
made at the last annual meeting In
January. Since then the waiting list
has grown larger each month though
every effort has been made to admit
az many as possible by allowing sub
stitutes In place of members not able
to use their cards for one reason or
another.
Early In December however, a re-
quest was made by the Mems Club
that such members of their families
as was still on the waiting list Of the
women's Auxiliary or desirious of be-
coming members should be permitted
to join al once-in view Of the fact
that the Auxiliary owes much to the
courtesy and consideration Of the
Outrigger Club and that according
TO the consensus OF opinion, q second
women's annex on the grounds would
not be desirable from any standpoint
this request was aceeded to. Arrange
ments were accordingly made as
speedily as possible for . suitable adj
dition to the women's bath house and
the admission under special dispen-
sation Of those ladies belonging to
the families OF men members, whose
names had been proposed and passed
by the authorized committee Of the
mems club. The membership cards
have now been issued and the wo-
mems bath house Is ready for the use
of all members. Between sixty and
seventy new members have thus been
added to the Auxiliary. their rights
and privileges to be exactly the same
as those Of the earlier members. Just
how the expense Of the new addition
to the bath house with plumbing and
lockers, amounting TO 500 will be
met by the Women's Auxiliary Is q
problem.
Unfortunately even after the reno
val from the waiting list Of all appii-
cants belonging TO the families OF men
members IL still remains lengthy one
