TOM MOORE, Editor 21 West DutTy St. Telephone 7531. Bethesda Alumni, Cotton Exchange Bldg. 44 East Bay St. — Tel. 3-2156 Meeting Nights Tuesday Night, February 11, 8 p. m.

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.
