is able to carry on its COM
munity work, such as caring for
a cemetery, maintaining a play
ground, sponsoring a trip for
elderly people to a beach and
any other community project that
might arise.
It was from one of these pro-
jects that the Club got its name.
Since the cemetery cleaning was
its first Job, the club, strange as
it may seem, took its name after
the cemetery, Thus Levi Club.
After being organized four
years ago, it has had only one
set Of officers, Mr.. Harold Brady,
president, Mr.. VIM. Hawkins,
vice president, Mr.. Charles Duk-
er, secretary, MIR. Stanley Hicks
