One most effective way of organizing a living memorial committee is
to call a meeting of the leaders of each organized group, being sure that a
member from each group is invited. Letters of invitation may be issued
to the heads of Veterans Organizations, Fraternal Orders, Civic and Political
Clubs, Women’s Clubs, Business Organizations, Garden Clubs, Labor
Unions, Religious Organizations, Parent-Teacher Groups. Every effort
should be made to secure as broad a representation as possible. By this
method the greatest possible number of citizens may be interested.

At the first meeting, outline generally the plan of organization, securing
action on its adoption. In the event it is anticipated raising a large sum,
it may be well to employ a paid director who will have the time to
administer all of the details under supervision of the general chairman
and the executive committee.
