COMMUNITY HOUSE
TO BE A REALITY
Methods Adopted To Finance Pur-
chase Of Property. Coop.
GRAFTON Sought

Women representatives from
every corner of the island met at
the home Of Mrs. T. Hansen to
complete all details for their
drive for funds to finance the pur-
chasing of the old school property
for an all island Community Club
House.
The need for such building
has been felt by all the residents
Of the island but lack of funds for
an entire newly constructed build
ing was considered too great a
burden at this time. However
when the opportunity presented
itself in the shape of this property
every representative unanimously
agreed that it should be taken.
All sentiment as to distance or
central location was submerged
under the splendid spirit of eager
ness to start the ball a rolling,
all realizing that it was but the
means to an end, a stepping stone
TO a larger building, unit Of cen
tr.l interest, greater island.
That this might be brought
about without showing any par
tlallty the usual plan Of popular
subscription to raise this money
was adopted by the members,
No amount too large, nor too small
work or cash, will be passed up
without equal appreciation but
every business house, every pro-
perty owner, every resident who
las the interest OF the progress
i've development OF the island at
heart should contribute smllngly
and generously. 10 carry on the
ordinary expense OF the Club
nommal fee Of fifty cents a year
DIS club dues was adopted thus en-
abllng every woman on the island
TO become live member OF this
splendid new organization. The
only qualification necessary is con-
genial hearty cooperation in this
movement.
The building is to be remodel
ed at once into a modern Com
munity Club House consisting Of
a Club Room, dining room, htch-
en- and public rest room. The
grounds will be beautified in keep
ing with the reputation of the
scenic beauty OF the island and
will afford many recreation fields
as a tennis court, croquet grounds
and later golf links. A place for
all to gather together old as well
as young to indulge in closer
community spirit.
Every progressive community
in this wonderful country OF ours
today has its Community House.
Vashon island is progressive.
Therefore things equal to the same
thing are equal to each other,
VashOn island must have its Club
House. Do your bit.

club affair to that of a public
dance which has elected more or
less criticism.
