The past year has been very busy
one for the Waterville Woman's Club.
All departments have shown an unusu-
al interest in their work. All meet
ings have been instructive and well at
tended.
Right here I would like to car
your attention to the Federation
meeting at Portland this coming
September and urge the members
to try and attend. 1 am sure if you
would and catch some of the en-
thusiasm, you could come home and
enthuse some OF the other mem bers.
1 believe we have the largest club
in the State and we should have a
better attendance at the Federation
meetings. Last year there were 10
or q dozen members from Dexter
and Portland had a large delegation.
L believe we had seven members
from our club not including Mrs
Totman. who represented one of the
Oakland clubs. 1 wish we might
have at least Is from our club at
the September meeting this fall.
In the fan l am going to ask
each chairman to try and get her
committee to promise to attend one
open meeting.
L would suggest that each mcm-
Der. particularly the chairman. read
the constitution and the bylaws
carefully and see that they are liveG
up to In regard to guests to the
meetings. Also members who bring
guests to any meeting. department
or open nights, to see that they are
paid for.
