Everyone was entertained by a magician, then the singing of Christmas carols and finally Santa Claus visited with gifts. Thanks to the Home Office for making this affair possible and also to everyone who helped with the preparations. The Branch Officers and their wives helped in the arrangement and success of this party; without them it would not have been what it was. Branch 649 Long Island, N.Y. The Brahms Agency invited 137 members to our office in Valley Stream for a Christmas/New Years Party. We served sandwiches and soft drinks and distributed favors to the parents for their children. The festivities were conducted between the hours of 3:00 P.M. to 10:30 P.M. with the members attending all through these hours. We have now organized and will attempt to gather clothing and other items of usefulness to be distributed to various hospitals in the Long Island area and items to be donated to the Salvation Army. We will keep you abreast of our progress. From Branch 649. Office Manager, Sondra Brahms FEELING #185 That which was has been. Learn from the experience. That which is must be. Accept the experience.
