MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS
)ear Friends and Co. workers:

Dear Friends and Co Workers:
AS we stand on the threshold of the
New Years work, shall we not set
our aims high, and with plans care
fully laid, press forward with renew
ed energy and enthusiasm?
Each convention marks the wonder
full growth of our beloved federation.
The fortunate attendants and those
who have read the splendid reports of
your officers, and those presiding over
the department work, must have been
amazed, as well as pleased. with the
wonderful accomplishments of the
year. Those who serve you. in high
places, have given their best to the
cause. Your president bespeaks for
them, as well as for herself, your con-
tinued, undivided. out-spoken support.
Everywhere the rank and file needs
strengthening and we are depending on
you. Please do not underestimate the
value of your influence, as the fedora
ton must present a solid phalanx to
attain the desired. It must be ever
borne in mind that our federation is
making a national record, and each
member is directly responsible for this
record. Especially are we in the lime
light, since the distinguished recogni-
ton accorde by the general federation
and to continue to merit such recogni-
ton, must be the result of spontaneous
and united effort--a determination to
win laurels for Florida, first; sub
merging personalities. making them
always a secondary consideration to
our state.
There are four dominant plans on
which the federation must concentrate
this year
First-The legislation advocated
bearing on all department work. fol
urgent reform, both state and ma
tional
Second-The addition to our endow.
ment fund, of not less than five thou
! sand dollars through the special fed.
