The club occupies the entire upper floor of a commercial building, having a total floor space of 6300 square feet of which 4500 square feet is given over to an assembly room for meetings and social gatherings sponsored by the club. The room has been completely redecorated and renovated. It is fluorescent lighted, and a water heater, cabinet sink, electrically cooled water fountain and public address system have been installed. There are also candy, cigarette and coke vending machines. The club membership is increasingly rapidly and with the employment of a full time paid secretary the goal is to be the largest club in the largest state. San Antonio members are also holding regular weekly meeting at the State Hospital with a patient attendance of 25 to 35. The doctors are cooperating fully and each week some patients are brought to closed meetings. . . A dinner dedicated the new club rooms at Marshallowtown, Ia., with meat and coffee furnished by the group and members bringing the rest of the food in covered dishes.
