B & P W Club Notes
The Business and Professional Women’s Club held its regular meeting by invitation of Misses Alberta and Gertrude Ziegler, at their home in north town with lovely refreshment of cake and pink ice cream served.
The minutes of the last meeting were read. Mrs. Morrow made a talk of what the club is planning to do through the summer months. Many interesting things, such as tacky parties, watermelon cuttings, lawn parties, baseball games, etc. The handy helpers sale held recently netted about $75.00. A prize of $5.00 will be given to the member who has the best project in making money on sales or anything on the line such as selling candy or as the project appeals to the member. Also a prize will be given for good attendance of members at meetings.
The girls are working or rather trying to get cooperation from the business men of the town with reference to obtaining one-half day off during the hot summer months. The Kiwanis and Lions clubs have heartily endorsed their support for which we thank them very much.
A piano and violin duet, “Rose Dreams” was beautifully rendered by Mrs. Imbusch and Miss Margaret Schlosser. A musical song contest was carried out. Miss Rosa Watson received a pretty wall vase as a prize for answering the most questions. Four birthdays came in April of club members. Each received a pretty memo book with mirror back.
First Vitaphone Presentation At Strand Received Enthusiastic
