The public drive which starts on
May 17th will end on June 3rd.
The activities of the Special Gifts)
Memorial Gifts and Industry Corporate Gifts Committees will also
be terminated on June 3rd
With §77,000 pledged to date,
§98,000 must be raised in the next
three weeks. The goal of the public
drive is §50,000. The balance of
the needed funds must be raised by
Special Gifts, Memorial Gifts and
Industry Corporate Gifts Committees.
More volunteer workers are
needed and anyone interested in
serving as a solicitor should phone
Campaign Headquarters, Saline
378.
Success of the drive and possibly
whether or not an adequate new
hospital can be built will depend
on everyone realizing the necessity
of making a sacrificial gift proportionate to that given by others. This
is the chance of a life time to have
a new hospital and if the new hospital were to save a single life it
would be worth all the effort of
the volunteer workers and the sacrificial giving of everyone, the
Campaign Executive Committee
stated.
The fact that those who make
gifts   qualifying them for voting,
life  memberships in the hospital
association is an important reason
for giving, for those who give will
be able to determine the policies
of the proposed hospital. A voting,
life   membership   is   granted   for
each $100 given. It is hoped that
any families in the employed group
will give on the basis of about $1.28
per   week   budgeted   for  a  three
year period or $200, so as to qualify for two memberships—one for
the husband and one for the wife.
It is also essential to the success
of the drivei that those with a larger income than the average employed family  will  make   Special
Gifts of  Memorial  Gifts  pledges
Special Gifts Tange from $300 to
$1200.  Memorials   begin at  $2100
and  range  to   $18,000.   Added  to
those   -who  have  made  memorial
gifts are the Saline Savings Bank,
and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Leutheuser
A  special  feature of  the  campaign is the group memorial plan
by which churches, community or
farm organizations may have memorial rooms in their name without any cost to the churcn or organization.  Anyone   interested  in
helping his church or organization
to have a memorial room in the
proposed hospital should write the
name  of his organization on his  "
signed pledge card when, he is solicited by a regular member of the
campaign organization.  No  solicitation is being made by churches
or organizations, this being done
entirely -by volunteer workers  of
the   hospital   campaign   organization.
All costs of the campaign are
being paid for by one person
Therefore, all gifts to the Hospital
Building Fund will be used for
the actual building and equipping
of the proposed hospital.
