The next important item on the schedule was “The Verhovay Crippled Children’s Fund.” This drive is made annually by the Home Office, fo>r providing medical treatment or rehabilitative training for Verhovay*s Crippled Juvenile members. February 21st, the birthday of the Association was set aside at the last Convention for this drive, and this is to be known as “Verhovay Charity Day”. Each and every member is urged to join in the drive, and to donate, no matter how small an amount. We will be giving some child a ‘new life’ by helping NOW!

A joint committee of all branches in the city and suburbs already has been organized and a big program is being planned for this great event. The booklet will be distributed on this occasion^ to the members, bowlers and guests present. A motion was made and seconded that Branch 429 buy a quarter page ad in the booklet, listing the officers’ names. The matter of new business was next on the schedule. Since there is a great deal of work involved in the writing up of cards for the following meeting, a motion was made and seconded that we provide the Branch- Manager with a stamp.

All business matters having come to a satisfactory conclusion, the meeting was adjourned, after which the usual refreshments were served.
