CLUB SOCIAL TO BE HELD APRIL NINTH 
It is, perhaps, a good omen that the '78 Club Social can be held on 
the second Sunday of the month as are all other meetings. Most years 
we have to adjust to Easter or Palm Sunday or Passover but this time 
the way is clear. 
Once again member Dorothy Jensen has made available to us the Broad- 
way Dance Studio, 31-08 Broadway, Astoria. (Directions for reaching 
the studio appear below.) Coincidentally Russell H. Jensen (who is 
not related to Dottie) will be our speaker. A superlative photograph- 
er, he will show a film made on a recent shelling expedition to Tahiti, 
Moorea and other garden spots of the Pacific. Russ is a sheller who 
really gets his feet and his camera housing wet, so you may expect 
Stunning underwater footage. 
There will be a buffet supper, preceded by a cocktail hour with a 
choice of alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages. And, ladies, we 
again look forward to your marvelous homemade cakes which so deli- 
Ciously top the supper. 
To defray the cost of the catered supper, : 
and their guests will be asked to make a donation of SHOES Lor eae 
and $2.25 for children under twelve years of age. Even this will | 
not make the party self-supporting. To avoid dipping “ope ge! Fy 
treasury, even to enrich it if possible, we must have a vassals 
chair rental, etc., members
