Close is chairâ€" man of a committee for keeping an accurate record of the points earned by each member, which is her specific responsibility. Points are given for the work and service done by each of the active memâ€" bers during the year. Each memâ€" ber is required to make a miniâ€" mum of 100 points a year, but the majority of members make many more. Last year the top ten members had over 400 points to their credit Providing lunch for 75 busy members of the Highland Parkâ€" Ravinia Infant Welfare Juniors is the job of luncheon chairman Mrs. Warner G. Smoot. With the help of monthly chairman and a committee, many delicious lunchâ€" eons have been served. The aim of holding down the cost is in keeping with the kind of work the organization is doing. Helping others less fortunate is the aim of Infant Welfare, and costly luncheons are not necessary. Mrs. Smoot finds her job fun and an inspiration. Member cooperaâ€" tion is splendid, not only in doing kitchen duty, but in contributing original and tasty dishes for the pleasure of the members at the short but pleasant luncheon recess at the regular allâ€"day sewing meetâ€" ings. The number of points given has been carefully worked out on the basis of time, importance and effort. Station‘ work, serving, working at the Thrift Shop, meetâ€" ing attendance, opening of the home for meetings, serving as hostess, being luncheon chairman or serving on the committee, comâ€" munity chest work, phoning, typâ€" ing, making coffee and transportâ€" ing dishes and silver used at the meetings, are some of the ways in which points are earned.
