May 14, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 45 oe pe ----. rr ------------------------ PRIDE IN HOME TOWN VOICED AT BANQUET Chamber of Commerce Hears President Tenny and Visitors from Neighboring Towns The Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce at its annual dinner in Matz hall, Community House, Monday evening, left no doubt in the minds of the two hundred members and guests present, that the one object uppermost with the Chamber is to serve its community and to aid every way possible in the sol- ution of problems of its kindred or- ganizations in neighborhood villages. Officials from the Chambers of Com- merce of Wilmette, Glencoe and High- land Park voiced a co-operative spirit, as they in turn responded to the warm welcome address from Thomas J. Lynch, president of the Winnetka Chamber. Mr." Lynch also explained that one object. in bringing this body of north shore citizens together was to afford an ovportunity for discussion of ways in which the Chambers of Com- merce might be of greatest benefit to their communities, Encourages Civic Interest Speakine more directly for Winnetka, he said his organization at all times welcomed an opportunity to serve the village in any way it is possible to do so. He ureced members to continue their interest and attendance at the regular. Chamber meetings and invited business and professional men who are not alreadv members to become af- filiated. Whether they are members or not, President Lynch made it plain that they will always be welcome at the meetings should they have anything of interest to the villace to introduce. Questionnaire blanks were distrib- uted, with the reauest that should there be anyone who had a question or a suggestion which he would like to have the Chamber entertain at its fu- ture sessions, to fill out the blank and deposit it in the questionnaire boxes, provided for that purpose. President Lynch also stressed the im- nortance of co-operation of Winnetka business men, one with the other, and to the citizens of the village the im- portance of trading at home. Hear North Shore Pioneer Robert Doepel, first vice-president of the Winnetka Chamber, presided as toastmaster. Following the address of President Lynch, the toastmaster next introduced H. B. Gates, vice-president of the Wilmette Chamber of Com- merce, who spoke for Emil Nord, presi- dent, who was unable to be present. Leo Hillman, president of the Glen- coe Chamber of Commerce and Clar- ence H. Witt. president of the High- land Park Chamber, each spoke for their respective organizations, and to the plea of President Lynch for closer co-operation, pledged their support and effort for a greater north shore Henry F. Tenney, president, brought ereetings from the official village fam- ily, and made it clear that at all times it would welcome the advice and counsel of the Chamber of Commerce. He said he wished he could have a gathering like the one before him at the council meetings, to talk over the problems of the village. He said nearlv everyone who comes before the board has some personal interest in the mat- ter under discussion, and has his own "axe to grind," while the problems are to be solved to the best interest of the village, as a whole. "The Winnetka council," he said, "needs an organization like the Cham- ber of Commerce, to call upon for as- sistance and advice, and in order to carry on the ideals of Winnetka, it is necessary to have the backing of every citizen."
