Feast of Seven Tables" 1t was our
Introduction. as it were to the com
munity. 1t told them we had organ
lied to do all that we could to pro-
mote Community Socialibility
A little later the Flower show and
tea told the women of our town the
same story in little different way.
We presented it to them by display
ing to them the beauties of that part
of the floral kingdom which is as
signed to us who live in this north
ern state of our Grand Old Union.
The display was very surprising even
to ourselves and won more friendly
feelings toward our undertakings.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Bar
ber who is the Junior Red Cross SUI
pervisor and genuine club worker,
assisted by Mrs Frank Barrett, we
were given credit for a wonderful
Christmas Seal sale at the Holiday
time.
Through the efforts of all the Club
women we made possible the second
community Christmas tree. The call
for assistance, financial and other
wise, was met so very generously
by the citizens that we began to
feel a warm cooperation on their
part in our endeavors. The years
success is almost entirely due to the
untireing efforts of the Civic com
mittee who with Mrs. Barber as the
chairman have been willing workers
and seemed to recognize no limit to
what they would undertake. 1 would
enjoy enumerating their successes
but must not borrow from Mrs. Bar
bers report.
! have spoken of the things which |
have been of general interest and |
with regard to their success want to
thank each and every one for her
cooperation. One whom we select
to be chairman of our Club is very
helpless by herself she must have
the interest and willingness of the
members and these in turn bring ac-
ton and success.
This has been a very new exper-
fence to me, the past years work has
been filled with many lessons for
me.
Henry Ward Beecher reminds us
THAT our daily duties are a part
our devotions. 1t has been this
Of our religious life just as much as
that has helped me to combine Club
work with religious work and not
feel that l am sighting one for the
other. This Civic betterment for
which we are organized is only an
other chapter in the book of our
lives and if we would win the great
We'll done"
1 have grown to know many of
you and regard you as friends whom
might never have known so closely
n any other way, for we as a whole
lllow our little Church organizations
o, in a measure, deyide our interests t
md we need this one meeting place t
where our aims and ambitions are t
IL conferred on the same things, on t
ur schools and town problems t
l have striven to meet the re-
of the Chair and have
cen proud that you had chosen me n
Or this years work, and thank eacn a
f you for having given me the priv v
ege. When have failed it has not t
cen through lack of effort or we'll :
leaning, it has been with the best
I intentions so let us forget any
ough or discolored spots on our first
age of Club life and go merrily on
ur vacation and in the Fall take up
he work with new energy. Renew
he thought which reads ut is not
he ability to be idle but the ability
0 work, that constitutes happiness.
