Slogan 800 Members" Note for
Week Drive by Minneapolis
Settlement House.

Starting Monday, May 3, and con-
tinuing for week, until May II, the
Phyllis Wheatley settlement house
will conduct a membership drive for
500 members in the Twin Cities. At
present the membership is approx
imately $50.
The settlement house is partly sup

Minneapolis. 1t is one of nine settle
ment houses in Minneapolis, is locat-
ed in a colored district, and approx
imately sixty per cent of the people
who use the building are colored.
During the past year, 1t is estimated
that $4,000 people used the facilities
of the building.
Activities at the building are va
ried and almost endless. Glasses in
gymnasium and swimming under
trained instructors have long been a
feature Playground work daily is
one of the activities which children
of grammar school age highly appre-
ciate.
Sewing and lamp shade classes
have been carried on successfully. A
glee club has been started; and the
most recent expansion in the activity
circle has been the creation at the
building of a branch of the Mime
apolis Public Library, which was in
stalled April 1. On Sunday, church
services are held in the auditorium.
The Phyllis Wheatley house was
organized in October, 1924, and since
that time Miss Gertrude Brown has
been head resident. Miss Ethel Ray
was secured a short while ago to
assist with the activities of the house.
The membership fee is one dollar.
A membership dinner will conclude
the drive on the evening of May II
at the house.
