H. B. A. MEMBER
MEMBERSHIP
The Executive Board and Convention went on record endorsing a Membership Campaign in which each member is to get a member.
The Campaign will end July, 1956.
Letters have been mailed out and we are hoping and praying that the members will get busy and help us to increase our membership.
It can be done and we believe that our faithful members are going to help do it.
Each member has been asked to write the secretary telling her that he or she will or will not be responsible for one member between now and the Convention 1956.
As soon as the applicants are gotten the members will notify the president of the local lodge of which they belong.
We hope to be able to report 10,000 members in the Convention in 1956.
Won't you help us to realize our dream?
Please do not wait! Get busy now and get your one member. There will be some members who will get more than the asking, however, we are expecting 90 percent of the membership to get one.
Have you written your letter to the secretary? If not, please do so now!
