WILME·TTE LIFE Apr:il 29, 1927 I Clubs of District · Put Up.Candidate T ~nth District Club Endorse Retiring President as Officer for State By M. C. G The Tenth Congressional district at. its annual meeting, Ma.r ch 31, 'e ndo;sed the retiring president, Mrs. William F. Fa.rrell, as a candidate for the office of first vice president of the Illinois Federation of Women's clubs. The district deems it a great pleasure and honor to present Mrs. Far~Tell's name, as it feels that it is offering a woman who has proven herself capable, energetic, sincere and conscientious in the work of the federation, and one who can always be depended upon to head any movement looking toward the betterment of club life. Under her able direction the Tenth district has risen to and maintains a place of prominence in the state. The slogan proposed by Mrs. Far.rell, "Unity and Service," has been the keynote of her administration, and "Federation" has been the watchword. Several innovations have been inaugurated, which have been most successful. The Club institute was conducted for the first time in the district during the first year and repeated last year with gratifying results. Several new junior auxiliaries have been formed, and seven of these have joined the District federation. Group meeting was another new project, which has been worked out in several communities, with much benefit to the clubs taking part. The endowment fund is nearly com·· pleted. The departments have worked in line with and carried out the policies of the State federation in every instance, and each department has developed definite results. The Lake County organization has been formed and a successful club institute was held in Waukegan under its auspices last November. Mrs. Farrell has been a member of the Tenth district board for six years having been chairman of the depart~ ment of citizenship prior to her ele-ction as president. She was chairman of the Local board for the state convention, I. F. W. C., held at the Edgewater Beach hotel in Chicago last year. She is a past president of the North End club, a member of the Chicago Woman's club and of the Argyle Park Portia club. Sh~ has a cl.!!rming, forceful personahty, and has endeared herself to the members of her board by her fairness and her unfailing support in ever~ department. · -~------: Artists Will Appear at Club Luncheon ·Entertainment Part of Large May Marke.t Punch and Judy Shows Included on Special Program for Afternoon of May 21 Plans are underway to make particularly . attractive the afternoon entertainment on the \Vinnetka Village Green at the time of the plant anrl flower market sponsored by the \Vinnetka Garden club 011 May 21.
