ings of the Metuchen, Woodbridge,
Asbury Park. South Amboy Perth
Amboy, Freehold and Matawan
clubs. We have also sent u dele
gates to the New Jersey State FEEDER

Many other Invitations from neigh

owing to our club meetings falling on
the same dates it was impossible for
representatives to attend.
There has been no change in our
roll call, our membership being the
same since the beginning Of the club
year with an active membership of
forty and an associate membership
OF five. We have added n new
name to the waiting list which now
numbers ten.
We have enjoyed five interesting
and instructive lectures by Mrs. Mar
ion 7. Atwell having Joined with the
Keyport Improvement Association
for a series of current event lectures
receiving one half of the net pro-
ceeds from the same our share being
$27.63. At the beginning Of our club
season we added an amendment to
section s article 4 of the constitution
by increasing the annual dues from
two to three dollars yearly.
On Thursday June 21st the club
members enjoyed a delightful visit at
Lavalette and were the guests Of Mrs.
A. H. Sands. At our annual election
of officers the same executive board
was reelected and the committee
has been fully repaid for its efforts
in making the club year one of the
most successful in the history of the
clubs career, and with the serving

of her earnest efforts to continue to
make u club the success that it
has always been, and may we CO.
operate in every possible way with

next year as great a club as the past
one, therefore deriving great pleasure
from our club work in both a social
and beneficial way.
(Mrs.) EDITH v. WYcKoFF.
The presidents report follows:
"As president / have been in your
service one year, carrying out as best
I could what / believed to be youf
viii and studying as deeply as pos
sible into the various conditions and
what would best benefit our club.
During the summer of 1922 We
held four executive meetings at my
home. At u first meeting we real
lied that more funds were necessary
The same cry in everything, even in
homes. The question then wa
how best to raise this money
Whether by assessment as we needed
it or would 1t not be better to raise
the dues of the club s1.00, thereby
making the dues Of the club three
dollars per year, thus dong away
with SO many little assessments.
Your executives thought that
would be a much better plan, there
fore at our first me- ting of the sea-
son this plan was presented 10 you.
[ cannot express 10 you in words
how deeply 1 appreciated your most
generous response to this request
As by so doing there has been ample
for all expenses and as you see by
your treasurer's report, a goodiy bal
ance for the coming year.
During the year / have accepted
all Invitations to visit other clubs
except three, two of those conflicting
with our meetings and the invita-
ton to Farmingdale coming when
4hn ranEg <a-nva almost i'm - q SEQ h1a
making fifteen visits to other clubs,
also attended the Tall conferences at
Long Branch and the convention at
Atlantic City.
"The experience has been both
helpful and enjoyable. I think w
all feel that we have had a very de-
lightful year. although sickness and
sorrow have visited the home OF
some of our members. But Is each
individual n was suffering every
other one of our club family was
saddened VITA special sympathy Tor
that particular one,
"Our current events lectures were
most enjoyable as well as profitable
Our departments have each done
nobly, our programs have been
splendid. We have also contributed
to many worthy objects. Through
the efforts of our dramatic depart
ment a goodly sum was contributed
to the Long Branch hospital by the
Keyport auxiliary. Your executive
feels that the experiences of the
past year have been most valuable
that the conscientious and untiring
service which she has rendered has
been but a slight expression Of her
deep and abiding faith IN the wo-
men OF her club. A faith in their
loyalty. their sincere love for one
another and their submission TO and
their desire for guidance by the
Creator OF is all.
81 wish to express to all, but
particularly to the Ulcers who l be-
lieve are Just the best officers any
president could have.
ITO each chairman who has been
so untiring in effort, to each mem
Der and committee. my deep appre.
citation of help. The cooperation
I have received has made the work
a pleasure and the close compan-
icnship which our work together
has brought about has made my life
richer and fuller and added memo
ries never to be forgotten. May the
coming year, which is rich, in prom
Use. be fnll of worthy achievements
and a service steady and true.
