President George Berggreen, of

first meeting of the Club direct
ors for the year at the Club rooms
Thursday evening of last week.
The primary purpose was to sub
NIT to the directors the standing
committees for the coming year.
The directors voted by unani-
nous consent to send Secretary
John Hansen to Minneapolis to
attend the annual meeting of the
Secretaries of the Civic organiza-
lions of the state. Mr.. Hansen
was also instructed to enroll the
Sank Centre Community Club as
member.
Gordon Morse submitted a very
feasible plan for a county wide
publicity feature. Because of the
lack of time the matter was re-
ported to the advertising COM
mittee of the Club.
In order to start the new presi-
dent off auspiciously it was voted
to serve a joint dinner to the
members of the Club and their
ladies at the Club rooms Monday
evening, Feb. 49,. An informal
musical program will be arranged
and there will be ample time for
dancing and cards. Place your
