SHELBY HOME BUREAU 



GIVES ITS MEMBERS 

 SOCIAL PROGRAM 



The Past Board Members Association 

 of the Shelby county Home Bureau en- 

 joyed a clever vacation party this sum- 

 mer. 



Many of the board members in 

 Shelby county who were no longer ac- 

 tive on the board missed the county 

 meetings and felt sort of left out of 

 things. So in December of 1943 they 

 organized the Past Board Members As- 

 sociation. 



Purpose of organizing the group was 

 to give members a social program and 

 to help the active board whenever aid 

 is needed. They appoint each year a 

 committee on membership to work 

 with the county vice-chairman during 

 the membership campaign. 



The meetings have fallen into more 

 or less of a pattern . . . October tea 

 and social party; February; patriotic 

 or valentine party; May: June wedding 

 party; and August: picnic.
