The board realizes first that the interest and civic pride of Winnetka is back of this community undertaking for the benefit of the next generation in the great city from which we commuters draw our liveli- hood, and second, that sufficient funds sre available in the community for this undertaking. It remains therefore to collect these funds as painlessly, ves, even as pleasantly as possible. The solicitors will meet for the first t'me Monday, February 14, at 10 o'clock at the home of the president, Mrs. George S. Parker of 200 Linden street, to divide the list of subscribers. After that they will gather weekly until the job is done, at the homes of some of the most delightful hostesses in Winnetka. The first luncheon will be given by Mrs. Morris Wilson of 429 Sheridan road, Monday, February 21, at which there will be a very interesting speaker. The second luncheon will be given by Mrs. Lawrence Howe of 175 Chestnut street. The first week of the cam- paign will be devoted to old subscrib- ers, the second to residents of Win- netka who for some reason have not shared in this undertaking, probably because they are newcomers. Several local shops have assisted by offering prizes for the campaign. Mrs. Calkins is contributing an attractive imported leather purse. Mrs. Skinner offers a delightful book and Miss Herbst has promised one of her charming objet d'art, while a friend who prefers to re- main unknown is giving several smart silk sport scarfs. These exciting ar- ticles will be awarded to the following workers: (a) The solicitor who is first to complete the report on her list of names. (b) The solicitor who submits the best letter of solicitation. (c) The solicitor who gets the greatest number of subscriptions. (d) The solicitor who obtains the largest single subscription. First prizes for all these objectives are assured and the publicity commit- tee hopes to have second and third prizes. Prizes will be on exhibition at the regular meeting of the board Monday, February 14. It is hoped there will be 100 percent attendance, and all stay-at-homes are warned that the most promising names will be snapped up by those present.
