Kings Daughters Tri-COunty Convention

circles were almost exactly revised. So you see they are always front line cir cles. The delay of some Of the clrcies is due to the time of holding the annual meeting. Each circle determines its own date for that meeting.
 The location of circles and their mem bership is an old story to me but am asked so many questions about them that 1 will emanate them for you once more These who have been in the work long time will miss some of the old names and welcome the new. Those new to the work may feel an interest to know where there co-workers are located. There are 22 circles besides an inde- pendent list. We will begin at the north eastern corner of Connecticut, with East Thompson where we had such delight Iful conference last year.
 There, with the hall as their center we find the Earnest Workers With mem l bership of 29. They are 3l years old, and while they have outside objects to which l they contribute their greatest work has 1 been for their own home town. Their work is quite different from any other circle under my jurisdiction but is more i like Miss Aldens circle at Moodus where
 a community spirit prevails.
 At Putnam we find two circles, Burden l Bearers, with Il members and Alizpah
 with IT members. Burden Bearers is the
 oldest circle in Windham county having
 been formed in 1888. They have kept
 alive because they have been too busy to die. Just now their new line of work is assisting a boys work in their church. I have talked so much Mizpah Circle l I will only remind you that they have increased> their membership by one this year as they have done for the last five years and they are looking forward to the summer which will bring their one meeting of the year.
 In WilHmantic we find Prayer Circle numbering fl and Trusting Circle nun. bering B. Their activities circle around
 the Card Home for the aged. We hope
 to have d closer view of their work neXt
 spring.
