FUE a.. b. SANIIORllN

Dear G.uo Woman.
You are no doubt familiar with the
resolution passed a. the Federal CLUB
Convention ct BrooNhastn last spring
endorsing the Federated Clubs OF the
state conducting a campaign 70 give
10 the patients OF the tuberculosis
Saua-Jrium near Nagee a suitable
and appropriate library.
With the completion Of the new in
st,ucsoa there is nothing that vii.
bring greater joy and pleasure to the
patients than q modern and complete
library, ard if the Federated Clubs
will raise the S5.09Q,o0 necessary to
give the patieItCs this library ~.
Boswell will have a dedication insrip-
tjon in the library to the Clubs, 1t
is not the intention for the money to
be raised by per capita assessment
of members, nor by taking it out of
the club treasury, but by conducting
a campaign to be called a Dollar
Book" campaign soliciting public dol
lar contributions, No Club is asked
to raise ar excessive amount, and
your clubs proportionate amount has
no doubt been sent to you by your
district president. Clubs al convass
in adjoining territory and counties
where there are no Federated Clubs
for any contributions sent direct
to the Sanatorium credit will be given
to the club district from which they
come. This library movement has been
unanimously endorsed by the Travel
ers IN convention at Columbus. and
by the American Legion meeting at
McComb.
Don't you think the clubs of your
district could make the week of Octo-
Der 1928 "Dollar Book" week for the
patients of the tuberculosis Sanator-
ium.
1t may not be possible for me to
get this letter to every member of
your club, but | hope you will give
this matter your personal support and
endorsement when it m mp for dis
cussion. Sincerely vours.
