2 WILMETTE FRIDAY DECEMBER 19, 1924 ROTARY BRINGS CHEER TO VETS ·'Shower" of Contributions For Diaabled Shattered veteran s of the World war, confined in the government h6spit~J at Great Lakes, for whom the tumult of hattie has never ceased and whose outlook into the future is clouded with dreary month s of ceasele ss waiting- waiting for the day when health and th e happiness of l10me life shall have returned- are to glimpse a hit of sun shine at this Christmastide. The Wilmette Rotan· club has heard the call to duty. At the luncheon Wednesday of this week its members heard C. E. Renneckar, chairman of a special Rotary Christmas Cheer committee, sound an impass ioned appeal for contributions for the disabled soldiers at Great Lakes and forthwith showered the club "mite llOx" with gifts of money to be placed into the hands of recognized local agencies entrusted with the ta sk of demonstrating to the unfortunate fighters that Wilmette "has not forgotten." The Rotary's contribution will be turned over to the Wilmette Woman's club, the Wilmette Post of the American Legion and the Woman's Catholic Club of Wilmette to be utilized .as those agencies deem advisable. Mr. Renneckar emphasized the point, also, that the Rotarians were not to be content with merely mak1ng a money contribution to the disabled men. "It is the duty of every man in this club to get up to that hospital at every possible opportunity to visit with those men," he declared. "Don't s ay you'll do it some time, perhaps tomorrow or next week. Set out for Great Lakes and go there as often as yuu possibly ~:au! Whnt tho~<: boys yearn for and need above all else is companionship; a pleasant greeting that comes from the heart and a smile at parting that says 'I'll l>e back to see yo u again. 1'11 not forget!" Rotary contributions also went to the Chicago Day 1\:ursery and the lllinois Society for Crippled Children, the latter being a Rotary enterprise. The Rotarians are planning a merry Christmas partv in connection with their regular luncheon next Wednesday. A ~pecia Wilmette Student Accorded High Honors at University Paul C.
