There are some presidents W o
have not as yet added a single mem
Der.
Do you mean to say that there ar
grown men and women who ar
heading local lodges throughout tn
Association who cannot add one
member? 1t seems hardly believablc,
and yet, it must be true.
If some presidents can add as
many as twelve and more members
ever a period of six months and
more, would certainly prove to all
concerned that l could at least add
one member.
And too there is another picture
TO be ta~e1 u,der consideration
There might be some among thai
number who gre not doing anything
who are not interested as to whethe
the Association grows or not. Where
ever those presidents are to be found,
thew are retarding the progress of
Z particular lodges.
The Association is moving along
nicely, however, there is room for
improvement. We have a larger
number Of presidents who are head
ing local lodges throughout the As
ISOLATION who have membershipe lsag
than the number they are supposed
to have to exist, but the Association
has been lenient and tolerant for a
long, long time, thinking that they
would increase their memberships.
