GIRLS CLUB NOTES

One good thing deserves another,
so the Christmas sale and dance run
by the Girls club is one more at
tractive scheme for raising money
for the club. December LIST is the
date, City hall, afternoon and eve
ming the place. Because the men,
bers have set their minds on becom-
ing as near self-supporting as pos
sible is the reason for the success of
all Girls Club affairs. All things for
all the girls of Augusta is the aim
of the League Clubs. The future
will depend on the membership and
the bank account. The bank account
of course depends largely on the
membership. Every girl and woman
OF Augusta is eligible and becomes
a member by paying her Initiation
and her dues. The dues may be
paid monthly or 81 down three times
a year.
Monday evening, Nov. 2, the pro-
gram for club night will be a supper
at 6.15 at the Elks' club. A short
special business meeting called at
6.45 sharp. Then the Christmas sale
committee will give out work to all
who will come and get it. A social
quiet time with a half hours fun to
wind up the evening. Obey that i'm
pulse and run in Monday. Any time
after there will be some one to
greet you. Please remember and
bring your membership cards.
