Improvement Club Donates Silverware
The Woman’s Improvement club has been doing some little-known but very worthwhile work for the community rooms recently.
The ladies have purchased two dozen place settings of stainless steel silverware. A year ago they donated two dozen silver-plate teaspoons. The club also made a contribution toward the stove when it was installed.
Financing was done by the use of coupons. $1.00 projects, pie sales, etc.
The club has 10 members at present. Mrs. Marlyn Gerken is president and Mrs. Frank Almeter, secretary.
