N. W. C. A. NOTES
N. W. C. A. held an interesting
meeting at the home last Wednesday.
Notices will be sent to the members
who have not been to a meeting this
year, and are back In their dues, ask
ing if they wish to retain their mem
bership, hoping for a reply by the next
monthly meeting.
The home is now filled and applica
tions are coming in continually, and
we cannot accommodate them. Won’t
the citizens, lodges, and clubs, help
us enlarge the home with at least two
more rooms? Now the home has
stood eight years in Omaha, and is
still running, is not that enough to
place confidence in the management?
Every citizen knows just what she or
he has given toward the support. We
mean to place the money that we re
ceive from the charity ball given by
the Elks for the benefit of the home
in the bank as a building fund. Now
won't other organizations follow and
make the Old Folk’s Homa a credit
to Omaha? This is the only institu
tion owned and controlled by the Ne
gro race. We will ask every colored
paper in Omaha for space for every
one’s name that will donate to the
building fund. Can't we have the ad
dition before winter?
We wish to thank Mr. Joe Carr for ■
his yearly donation. Won't others who I
owe yearly donations please send them
in. We still have Borne Easter envel
opes out. They come in at every meet
ing.
The Negro Woman's Christian Asso
ciation wishes to congratulate the Ne
braska Federation of Clubs for being
able to burn the mortgage on the
hoine they purchased in Lincoln.
Mrs. Barton entered the home last
week, and now we are filled. Go visit
the home as it brings cheer to those
that cannot get out, and see that they
have some candy or fruit, which they
would enjoy. The address is 302!*
