state greetings:
May the year 1920 be the most pleas
ant and profitable year in the history
of the Iowa Federation.
With only five months until our an
nual meeting, let us enter the work with
awakened interest with determine
tion to make Iowa one Of the best club
states in America.
Real club work is strenuous. It re-
quires much energy and enthusiastic. 1t
takes the club woman into all activi5
ties Of the community of which she is a
part.
It requires much time, interest un-
abated, careful study Of outline work
planned by heads Of departments to
CLEAN from them their real value.
Not only meeting your club regularly
but bringing into the meeting an en-
thusiastic spirit, trimming over with
timely and helpful suggestions.
Keeping in touch with, all advanced
ideas and plans for progress, putting
plans into practical use whenever pos
sible.
All requiring much reading, as well
as social contact.
Let all club women realize that her
club can not do the worth while things,
can not accomplish the things planned
by national and state leaders unless she
is not only in her place at each meeting
but shouldering her share of the respon-
| sibilities. Giving to the club her very
| best.
Thrift work y that is being urged put
! into practical use in every American
home. Our annual meeting only few
months ahead, when we are expecting
funds available for all Indebtedness Of
the year. Minute money for the in,
coming club year in the hands Of treas
urer and surplus for emergencies, also

Of 'nothing to do"
Minutes are ready for distribution
Copies for Des Moines may be obtained
