The Woman’s Club is beginning the new year with renewed energy and all the circles have set out with resolutions to keep busy until each one has turned in another $100 to apply to the purchase of the Club Home.
Mrs. J.G. Fearing, who had been away from the club for some time on account of illness, presided at the meeting Thursday and appealed to the members to make this the best year in the history of the club.
Mrs. F.S. Love, now of the city but formerly of Wilson, told of how the Wilson women built their club home, and her talk was full of inspiration and practical help.
Mrs. C.D. Bell, who took over the tea room, and saved its life during the interim when it was about to be without a manager, made a good report and her services were deeply appreciated by the club. Mrs. Bell said that she could not keep the work longer.
Mrs. R.J. Cohoon has taken over the management of the tea room, and prospects are bright for its continued success.
The Music Department reported a $160 deficit for the lyceum course and asked the members of the club to rally to the aid of the chairman, Mrs. M.S. Bulla, and the secretary, Mrs. W.P. Duff.
If every club member will buy one ticket for the next concert, which is to be the last, the deficit will be paid. Otherwise, the club will have to pay the debt out of the Club House fund, which would be little short of a calamity.
