The Social Service Board Chrisimas Fair: Over $14,000
Nett Profits Despite the fact that small sums of money continue to trickle in, it is thought advisable to delay publication of the figures in connexion with the Christmas Fair no longer, the following statement being correct account up to date.
From this it will at once be seen that the proceeds of the Fair have far surpassed the most sanguine expectations, that owing to the generosity of friends the expenses were reduced to a minimum and that these, together with the loss on exchange on'small money were covered, leaving a handsome margin in hand.
My Committee ask me to take this opportunity of extending their appreciation to a number of people whose names are not available. Presents were received anonymously by several of the stall-holders, many of the retail firms both gave lavishly and made, as well, considerable reductions on articles purchased. To one and all of these, to the stall-holders and their many helpers, to the ladies who made the tea arrangements such a signal success, to those who organized the entertainments and to the entertainers themselves both small and big, are offered my Committee's most cordial thanks. cts.
