monies. Carl Lindegren led the
group In singing Of a number OF
songs, which was followed BY a few
"reminiscences Of the past 25 years
by Mrs. Whitmire and a statement
OF the financial expenditures OF the
W.w.G.A. for the benefit OF the
members OF the club in general
(both old and new buildings). over
a 10 year period, 1920 through 1888.
The sum total vas above $1,000.
Only one year (ls2S) did the Wom-
ems Association receive a budget
from the mems board. They re-
fused further aid and have bought
their own trophies. bridge and golf
prizes, have entertained visiting
clubs, and carried on entirely on
their own initiative, sponsoring cad
dy tournaments, endeavoring to
tighten the burden OF the board OF
directors in every possible man
ner. In 1888 the entire expense OF
their west wing quarters was as
sumed by the women. cleaning
services, supplies, etc. This is per-
haps the most outstanding feature
Of the W.W.G.A. in the minds OF
the mems boards OF other clubs in
the district and they are equally
amazed at the interest and CO.
operation manifested by the size OF
the membership list. The number
OF active and associate members
has now reached around one hun
bred and four for the 1945 season.
