Arizona republican., 1915-06-06


 the club women of the state.
 May I ask your prompt action in this matter. and early report to me. The need for some fund of this kind is very apparent. Any suggestions your club may wish to make will be welcome.
 Cordially yours,
 Margaret Wheeler Ross.
 Pres. A. F. w. C
 It has been endorsed by twenty clubs. representing about twelve hun dred individual members, and no re- port has reached me from the other six. Not one club has refused to endorse the plan, and the general sentiment seems to be in it's favor.
 The Harmony Club, of Phoenix, made the following suggestion:
 Tt is intended that Arizona shall always be represented at the bi ennial therefore, if for good and sufficient, reasons the president is unable to attend the biennial, she shall appoint a representative. whose railroad fare to and from the city of the biennial. together with hotel and other reasonable incidental eX- penses of such representative, shall be paid from this fund upon the rendition of an itemized account by said presidents representative"
 The Woman's club of Phoenix made the following additional suggestion: The vicc-presidents in their oredr shall have the first choice as such representative"
 Money has been sent to me as fol- lows:
 Cash from the General Com
 mttee after paying expenses

 Total ........ .$41.51
 Of this sum S20O has been ex- pended for postage and for thirty copies of the Republican containing this report. which will be sent to the clubs which have not been reach ed. and to individuals from whom We may hope to receive subscriptions. The balance has been placed with the Phoenix Title and Trust company for safety and where it will draw eight percent interest, until the plan has reached every club, when we will organize the board of trustees, and they may make investments as pro- vided.
 l urge evrey club woman in the state to make herself a committee of one to seek out some Founders" and Honorary Members among the wellto-do women of her community. Surely there are several in the state who will want to help this fund. Let us work earnestly in this matter that we may have a worthy report at the January convention.
 Cordially yours,
