Dear Dr. Allen:

The Lawrence Recreation Council met last evening to discuss the possibility
of expanding the local recreation program for young people to include a
"Youth Center". Considerable planning’ and organization has been done as a
preliminary to the selection and equipping of a building and inauguration
of the project. It seems that the next step is the matter of planning and
carrying out a financial campaign to underwrite the expenses of getting a
building ready, equipping it and defraying the running expenses for the
first year.

Various plans for raising the money were discussed and it was finally de-
cided that the presidents of the following named groups would form an
executive committee to organize a financial campaign and be responsible

for collecting funds. It was the wish of the Council that the presidents

of the selected organizations might serve on the financial committee,

but you may wish to delegate someone from your group to act in that capacity
if you find it impossible to serve.

e

The eight organizations selected were as follows;

American Legion Kiwanis Club
American Association of Unive Women P.TeA- Council
Business and Professional Women Rotary Club
Cooperative Club Soroptomist Club

An organization meeting of this group will be called in the near future.
Will you please let me know whether you find it possible to serve on the
committee or give me the name of your representative who will serve for
your organization.

Very cordially yours,

Clifford D. Dean, President
Lawrence Recreation Council
