My. Fred Montgomery, President,
Lawrence Kiwanis Club.

Dear Monty:

If you don't quit fibbing to me I am going to shoot you!
Understand I am not asking for a domtion for the Red Croas, but I
am following up our conversation concerning the same. You told me
that Kiwanis had no fund except what you would necessarily have to
levy on each member if you made a contribution to the Red Cross.

last night I attended the Comaunity Hecreation meeting in

which Clifford Dean, Lloyd Houston and Bert Nash were in attendance,

as well as lirs. Keeler, Guy's better half, When Lloyd Houston said

that he expected Kiwanis to underwrite six or eight hundred dollars

for the commmity projeot, and he thought Rotary would do as well, I
quickly interjected this remark - that Rotary would make no contribution
@8 @m organization, that they only charge just enough to run their

erganization, and the reason they have been able to five one hundred

dollars the past two years for the.Red Gross was on account of a milk |

fund budget that had been discontinued at the advice of Mise Kindles- e

perger.

: they, were )g y surprised to find that we did not have
a fully eit /they stated tat they had a sizeable fund on hand at the
present t ae

- % checking up on you, fellow. You will either
have tos I will keep wondering why you Kiwanians _
would e tary to contribute to something that Kiwanis is making
a project of when Kiwanis refused to subseribe to an international
meroy _— like the Red Cross.
