Meetings are held at the office of the
Diamond Construction Company, Cotton
Exchange Bldg., 44 East Bay St. Meet¬
ings are held on the second and fourth
Tuesday of each month. In case meetings
are held elsewhere members will be noti¬
fied in ample time.
With practically all members returning
from the service and re-entering some
line of work and some returning to
school to finish their education, there
is a feeling among all of the members
that we should do our best to find suit¬
able quarters that will provide a place
for meetings, basketball games, dances,
and other forms of recreation and enter¬
tainment.
A “House Committee” consisting of
Earl McKay, chairman, John Anchors
and Swain Potter were appointed by *»ur
retiring president, Fred Schafer, to look
around for a suitable site. It was thought
best to get a location in the downtown
section of the city if possible.
To have these facilities, to provide
adequate assistance in the office to help
the secretary carry on the work which
is expanding all of the time, and to help
provide more in assisting “Bethesda” m
its need it is of the opinion -of many
of the members that the dues of the
members of the club should be divided
in four classifications, $5.00, $10.00,
$25.00 per year and $100.00 for Life
Membership.
We would like for you to express your
opinions in writing to the officers of the
club regarding this. As it now stands
we have a percentage of 33 1 3 members
who are delinquent in their dues. It
would help the financial condition of
club should these members take more
interest in Bethesda and the club and
endeavor to keep their dues paid in
full.
As we are entering a new fiscal year
the secretary would suggest that all
members mail their dues of $4.00 per
year in as early as possible. To help
defray the expense of getting the
ii Bethesda News” printed each two
months subscription blanks are going
along with this issue of the “Bethesda
News” asking all those that voluntarily
w ish to share in this expense to mail a
dollar to the club.
To help the financial condition of the
club it is further suggested that when
the club gives a dance, shrimp supper,
oyster roast or any entertainment to
raise money that each member either
buy or sell at least five tickets.
BETHESDA NEWS
With 300 members and each member
doing his share in paying dues, buying
or selling dance or other entertainment
tickets and at Christmas in sharing in the
Chiistmas fund it would pretty well help
take care of our extra financial obliga¬
tions with in our ten years of organiza¬
tion which has quite naturally expanded.
