Enthusiasm and good fellowship marked the annual meeting and barbecue of the Algonquin Club, held in the clubrooms in the Borden Building here last night. A large crowd was in attendance, and the members heard with expressions of approval a number of reports and suggestions brought forward during the business session, which preceded the barbecue.
The meeting was opened with the reading of the reports of C.D. Groves, secretary-treasurer of the club. It was announced that during the past year a debt of $1,000 had been completely discharged, allowing the club to start the new year with a clean balance sheet. A motion that the charger be changed from that of a social club to a civic organization was approved by the membership, and the Board of Governors was instructed to take the necessary action to accomplish the change. In the event such action is taken, the club will become a member of the Goldsboro Chamber of Commerce.
Following the submission of the various reports and motions, the election of officers for this year was held, with the following results: Edwin Borden, president; re-elected; John D. Gullette, vice-president, and C.D. Groves unanimously and enthusiastically re-elected secretary-treasurer. Alvin Howell, Horace E. King, E.H. Graham, Hugh Dortch and Dr. R.B. Miller were named five new members of the Board of Directors for a period of two years.
Immediately after the business session, the assembled members and guests adjourned to the ballroom of the club, where a delightful barbecue, accompanied, of course, by the necessities without which a ‘cue is not a ‘cue, was enjoyed by everyone. The entire occasion was a distinct success from every viewpoint.
