The regular meeting night was maintained as the third Thursday of each month, the hour 8 o'clock and the place the City Hall. President Switzer expressed his willingness to give of his time and effort to maintain a live club and remarked that energetic civic organizations are the best insurance against a dead town. Membership is open to everyone who believes that the community can be improved by cooperative action. A set of programs, one for each month, was prepared so that the business of the club would be done in an orderly manner and so that the various committees could have time to arrange for worth-while meetings.
