"Just what is Fellowship House?'
Is a question asked often enough t.
have a fairly complete answer
els it just House or 3fClub :
or a Social Center ''-or Home !
for the Homeless?0
1t doesn It come under any Of .thes,
classifications. It doesn't admit 0.
any exact definition.
We know that ninety-nin person
out of every hundred are social AM
sociable in their habits of life. AL
most every one likes 'Fgood time -
moreover-generally, social pleasure O
play goes by groups. Here is a groul
who meet as lodge-or here is
group who want dance club. Thinl
of the many athletic or gymnasti,
groups. Then we have domestic scienc,
groups, dramatic or literary groups.
All of these groups have leaders.
Among the well-to-do class. or semi
leisure class-place, time and form o:
all-are easily AID quickly
furnished. But among the three t
four thousand young working people
boys and girls what can we say
They love social life-they want t,
form and often do form their groups.
What is provided for them in Keno
shag How are they to be organized
In many instances they have no home
not even place at which a groul
could meet. Often they do not know
how to go about it to form club
for their particular purpose.
Fellowship House, through its heat
prepared to offer ever,
facility for the organization of an,
club, and provision of meeting place
Fellowship House aims to be clear
ing house headquarters-the foun
tain head of the social life of the work
ing boys and girls who seek social, gym
nastic, literary or musical pleasures
It does not recognize sect or creed
1t is in no way sectarian orgniza
ton. 1t was founded by Kenosha mel
and women, who recognize the urgen
necessity for the provision and main
tenance of headquarters for the pro
motion of better organized social lif,
among our working people-in factory
office, home or mercantile establish
ments.
Fellowship House hopes to be yer,
institution in Kenosha If,
among the young people. It want
to come IN contact with all our boy
and girls who are interested in its pur
poses, to learn their recreation needs
to come in touch with their persona
life, to make them welcome to the u.s.
