plishing in all its branches. but be-
cause of an important decision made
by the club 1t was unanimously
decided TO combine the building
fund, which was started by the club
last year. with the money which is
being raised at the cafeteria recent
ly established at the "Y- on We'd

wanting to do something in memo
RAM of their late president. Mrs.

the organization that il is today and
this decision at the meeting last
