GUY P. GANNETT TO
ENTERTAIN ROTAR!ANS

Another big treat Is in store for the
Augusta Rotary Club. Guy 7. Gannett
has invited the club members to be his
guests at a Red Cross dinner to be
given at Howard hall on the w. II. Can
nett grounds Friday, May 10, at o'clock
in the evening. This is change from
the date and hour originally announced.
due to Mr.. Gannetts preparations for
overseas service.
Each Rotary Club meeting has been
larger than the last during the past
few months until the dinner has taxed
the capacity of the Augusta House din
ing room. Because of the lack of space
at Howard hall the meeting on May 10
will be restricted to members and asso-
ciate members of the club President
Stewart and Secretary Lang are issuing
post cards warning every member that
he is expected to be present.
