SUMMER, 1979 i The President’s M essage Mid-term of the administration — what do you want your president to tell you? There are more than likely 15,000 suggestions, so 1 will suggest some of the most important bits of information that we need to recapitulate. First, may I say the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration at The Greenbrier. March 29-31. was more than I expected. The hostess district. Southern, really did an outstanding job; all participants in the program were great — it was evident that cooperation was the keyword throughout the entire convention. I have had in these two days since convention over 100 requests for a copy of Dr. Haggai's speech, to me this interest shows that our West Virginia clubwomen are truly concerned about the SURVIVAL OF OUR NATION. Let’s keep the beautiful memories of 1978-79 and now begin our vital work for 1979-80. Members are now more aware of their personal health and especially weight loss. We must keep this program going. At our convention the three top contestants in ihe weight loss contest had lost 193 pounds in eleven months. Have a weigh-in of interested participants'now and see how much excess weight we can lose — our health depends upon it. Club members have become • more conscious of social problems: child abuse, teenage pregnancies, rape, shoplifting, MKS. HERSEL M. PERDUE and many other abnormal behaviors — let’s continue working on the American Cancer Association, working with your local police them. to combat crime, and aiding in any way to improve the education Our Touch Museum for the Blind at the School for the Blind at of our school children — these are all VERY IMPORTANT areas Romney should be completed by next February. Check with Mrs. that we clubwomen should have an interest in and make it part of '' Lemuel Dirting to see if your club can add anything to help the our club programs.
