= land on FRIDAY, NOV. 25th--

w re begin to carry out the plan; approved by a mass meeting OF business men,
and by the officers and directors of the Chamber of Commerce; out of which
it is expected to create a vigorous, united community effort which will CAPT
taize those blessings of today SO that Albuquerque shall realize from them
tenfod of aus for Thanksgiving in 1922
Success for this plan calls for a minimum of 800 ACTIVE members
in the Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce for the year 1922. Not
merely members paying monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual dues
to the Chamber of Commerce to the total of $l2 each per year; but mem
bers who take a active, personal interest in determining what the Cham
Der of Commerce shall undertake for albuquerque, in seeing to it that the
Chamber of Commerce CARRIES OUT whatever it undertakes; and al
active personal participation in the community effort to that end.
Each member of the Chamber of Commerce will be entitled to n vote
no more. Directors will be elected by the members voting from a ballot
containing the entire list of the memb ershp, after the campaign has been
completed.
AT the same time each member will be asked to select from list OF pro
jects to be submitted by printed ballot, Ten PROJECTS which he regards
Is most important for the Chamber of Commerce to carry ut during 1922;
or to propose others not listed, which may be regarded as most important
The TEN PROJECTS receiving the highest number of votes will constitute
the major program of constructive work to be undertaken by the Chamber
of Commerce during 1922. Thus the members will determine the work to
be done and will elect the men to direct it.
Two hundred workers for Albuquerque have volunteered for the mem
bership campaign. They will assemble to begin their work on Friday morn
ing, November Is, at the Chamber Of Commerce. Each will be assigned to
a block. Zach will solicit every resident of the block assigned to him to be-
come IN active member of the Chamber of Commerce Each will be pre-
pared to explain in such further detail as may be necessary, the plan of the
membership campaign and the tentative plans for MORE intensive work by
the Chamber of Commerce during 1922,
