WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1922 To the 1948 Men and Women Who Will Be Called Upon to Give S the Campaign draws to a close, you find yourself facing this important question: "Just what should I give?" Much as we realize the difficulty of deciding such a matter, and much as we would like to help you decide, this question is one the answer to which you yourself must determine. We are not unmindful of the many calls that Winnetka makes upon the average family pocketbook. It 1s a village of high ideals; and ideals cost. But none of us, upon being pinned down, would care to live in a lessfavored town. For above all, there 1s a spirit here of co-opera- tion, of community interest, of community service that makes life for us adults a very pleasant thing and that provides the inspiration for our children that will guide them into useful habits and purposes as they in turn become men and women. Therefore, as now we face a crisis 1n our central community institution ---Community House---it becomes a matter NOT of our emphasizing what may seem very plausible reasons why we cannot give as we would like to; but accepting the challenge of the $105,000 need and re- solving that, despite some sacrifice of anticipated expense or anticipated saving, we WILL do our part to make the Campaign a success. When we think of the tireless energy that for eleven years has gone into making Community House what it is today, we cannot but realize our obligation to carry on---to see that the labors of the past for OUR welfare do not fail because of us. It 1s a tremendous undertaking to enlarge Community House, and every resource 1s needed, of large and small giver, to make its future sure. But the individual conscience of Winnetka 1s high. We believe we CAN count on everyone doing his or her share. And therefore we are content to leave with you the responsibility for the success of Sunday afternoon's effort. ---THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS May 20, 1922.
