AllQ EQuCdTlOldl department
With department record that been step in it's
field with the steady growth of Society whole
readily report stewardship to this conclave the
9th Convention of the Croaan Fraerna Union of Amer
ca In the four years period behind have used
past experience in this office to the best advantage
and benefit of the membership in general and to any
one particular segment.
Going into details citing the bigger undertake
ngs with which this Department associated would be
repettous for hardly issue of the Zaedncar goes out
that does carry article financial statement in
which had hand Disbursements from the Sports Fund
in the pattern of all other CFU payments made by the
Executive and Supreme Boards and appear detail part
of the Supreme Secrctays monthly statement sburse-
ments.
! We and you will agree without too much ex-
planaon that the activities possible through this Depart
ment like the extent possible for the Croaan Fraternal
Union know bounds In a small measure with par
donable pride say that the promoona and acvatng
duties which fall to this Department have partly been
sponsbe for holding the American and the Canadian born
members within the fold of organization.
Sports with bowling since it group and
barriers leading basketball softba baseball and golf has
been main forte This does not that interest in
folk dancing choral singing music and drama has been de-
emphasized On the contrary believe that of
members particularly those born here and nonSavs know
more of cultural past and richness than was known in
America and probably Canada twenty-five years ago
The program with the entire Home Office recog
nzed the promoter has through sports and cultural
commercial enterprises in way connected with our
line business This advertising of the Croaan Fratena
Union wherever and in what doses not but help in
furthering the Society,"
All this has and only be possible through cooper
alton vision of those with whom you work which in
the Executive officers the Editors, the
Supreme Board members and not in the least the enthu
siastc lodge workers.
These activities despite the fine and low cost protec
tive features offered by the Croatan Fraerna Union must
! De that
tton to and at cost to the employees give certain
fringe benefits.
The scope Of the Department has grown it should.
was through this Department that the Executive Board
designated that the Croatan Fraernal Unions two films
be handled and booked throughout the United States and
Canada This entaed much correspondence and watching
booking schedule but pleased to report that
bers aed most punctual in returning reshpping
! of the only two available films.
Our personal burden individual, not stated with
assistant greatly increased when, wise and oppor-
tune that it the Supreme Board in 1854 voted
that national sports tournaments be administered out Of
the Home Office through this Department In conjunction
with this had to conduct the financial ends receipts
and disbursements of the Home Office admnsraed tour
Coupled with publicity and unavoidable
pondence plus succession of tournaments it took the
air of what should get attention first?".
In field variegated because members have different
preferences and interests while do not profess to
be authority folk dancing singing have CLEANED
articles and secured their epntng the best of which
submitted to the Zajednicars English Section Here they
appeared space permitted or at the EDITORS discretion
Through the graciousness of the Supreme Board and
in calling with position have had the opportunity to
visit certain sectors Here the occasion of the 9th Con-
venon is indeed pleasure to be meeting of you
for repeated time and others still for the first time.
To personally it has always been pleasure we'll
as solemn duty to the Croaan Fraterna Union in
this official capacity We have always tried to broaden
our understanding of request problem with thirty
years membership and to temper judgment the basis
the lot of lodge officer promoting the Society in his
own bawick is not easy chore.
May sincerity prevail in all your deliberations with the
utmost good for the Croaan Fraterna Union always the
ultimate goal.
! Respectfully yours
i Frank Braidic, Director
