Of Chickasha

of the Mems Dinner club which has
been recently reorganiezd and to cele-
brate which a dinner with fifty plates
will be served at the Geronimo hotel
on Tuesday. December -. In the fu-
ture these dinners will be given to
men only as was done in the begin
ming Of the clubs existence.
The Mems Dinner club is not bust
ness organization. It is intended to
bring men of all business circles and
professions in the city together for
social enjoyment. It's purposes are
best explained In the following an
nouncemant made by Chairman d. H..
Roche:
Chlckasha, Okla. Nov. 10, 1916
"On November 9th the seventh
meeting and entertainment Of this
club was held. During these seven
meetings 5SS persons have been pres
ent and participated, or an average Of
81 per meeting. No longer is the mat
ter an experiment. Citizens Of this
city wish an organization that has for
its object sociability with entertain
ment among men. TO make it perma-
nent it was necessary to evolve a plan
OF membership to provide small fund
to cover unavoidable expenses and
any small deficits which have and may
result from non-attendance of some
who ask for reservations. AT the July
dinner a committee was elected to do
this. It reported last evening and its
report was adopted, unanimously. 1t
is this. Members who wish to remain
as such and those who wish to become
members are to agree to membership
for a year, at 25c per month, as dues,
payable $1OO for four months, in ad-
vance. Aside from this members who
attend dinners or agree to do so will
pay SOC to Zoe, as the case may be, for
dinners This works no hardship on
anyone, yet relieves the committee, in
charge Of arrangements, of worry and
lot Of work
"There is no profit to anyone, in
way of money, in connection with this
club. No ambitions except to provide
way for sociability, and the best and
most interesting entertainment Of the
members. There has been no envy,
strife or contention, which is appre-
ciated. Harmony and cooperation
have been the rule among the many
who have contributed time and effort
for the upbuilding of the club. This
is much appreciated.
For new membership roll card is
issued. On the back is place Tor brief
biography of each member. We wish
to be known to each other The inevi-
table changes that time brings breaks
the ranks of any organization. This
club wishes on file at least brief
history Of its members, so that in
event the grim reaper removes you
from our midst or fate calls you to
another place IN our great land we
will have a records. Be sure to fill
this out. Make II as full as you like;
the more data you give will be the
better.
