Ways to Secure Funds
Il am member of a club of 25 girls be-
tween the ages of Is and . years. Our
club is called the Sempre Fidelis. We
use our incomes from dues for benevolent
purposes. VIII YOU kindly suggest few
ways for raising some money as we wish
to do greater things now, for we have
been organized two years NJ. NJ"
Let me call your attention first Of all,
to an error in the name of your club.
The title as YOU give it here is half
Italian apd half Latn.l The word Sem
pie always or ever Is Italian. vet the
second word. "fidelis' tfaithfuD is Latln
Why not use an entire Latin name and
call the club "Semper Fideis?'
There are numerous ways in which YOU
might raise money. for your purposes OF
benevolences. Have you thought Of cook
ing certain kinds of breads or cakes and
selling them? / know one woman who
takes orders for home made doughnuts,
flying these twice a week. She has sent
out cards to various housekeepers. saying
she can supply crullers and doughnuts for
teas luncheons, etc. and she has all
the orders that she can fill. One of you
might make these; another might make
a speciality of fresh rolls biscuits: am
other of salad dressing. II your mothers
and friends hear of Your excellent enter
prise they will doubtless give you many
orders. Home made cake is always pop
ular, and YOU might have cake sales at
one of your houses twice each month
preferably on Saturday afternoons You
have my cordial good wishes for your
success.
