WOMANS CLUB LAST MEETING JUNE 5TH The Roanoke Woman’s Club will hold its final meeting of the season on Monday, June 5th, at three o’ clock. Owing to the fact that Department, Committee and Circle Chairmen will be expected to give reports of the year’s work at that time, there will be no program. However, these reports will con tain matter of great interest to all club members summing up, as they will the achievements of an unusually active and fruitful Club year. Whether a member feels that she has done much or little, just knowing that she has been a part of the work reported at the June meeting is a source of satisfaction and inspiration. As it is probable that there are many people who would like an explanation of the plan for the blanket sale we submit it below: With the cooperation of Mr. Loy of Leggett’s Department Store the Woman’s Club is conducting a sale of Chatham Heirloom blankets in some dozen different shades, size 72” x 84” either for cash or on the installment plan. The cash propo sition is a 10% discount from the regular price, which has been checked with an out-of-town store. The installment plan includes a chance on a blanket at less than the regular price, the number of blankets drawn out for less being in the proportion of twelve to one hundred of the number of blankets finally sold. One name will be drawn out each week and the lucky buyer will receive her blanket for whatever she has put in up to that time. If anyone fails to complete their payments all money paid in over one dollar will be returned. The collections will begin Satur day, June 3rd and the first draw ing will be Monday, June 5th at the Woman’s Club Building at 4:30 p.m. following the regular Club meeting. All interested parties are invited to be present if they care to though their presence is not necessary as the fortunate pur chasee will receive her blanket whether or not she is present. The blankets will be delivered the mid dle of November. If you have not been approached in this sale and are interested, speak to any Club member and she will be glad to take your order.
