The goal is 510000000 for the purpose of estabâ€" lishing a fund. whereby the interest will be used for the operation and upkeep of the Home. You are wondering why we still have the .IOC asâ€" sessment on the fee sheet? The Committee feel that in the majority ofeases. members will not mind the con- tinuation of this assessment. This will tidd approxi- mately $3900.00 to our fund. but you can understand ifwe live on assessment alone it will take it long. time. On the other hand you are saying. we have ultetidv given a special donation. This is an onâ€"going project. The Erland Lee Home is important. not only to FWIO but to members around the world. There are few orâ€" ganizations who can boast the ownership of tin origi- nal constitution table. The Committee feel tl deep sense of gratitude to all who have iilretid\ donitted but because of the importance, we ask lIII to help put this project over the top. The Committee feel. that members will riilly round this cause and help us reach our goal. enabling the WI to move on to another project. A DATE TO REMEMBER Ontario W1 WeckiErland Lee Home June 5-9.
