"FLEET RESERVE ASSOCIATION"

Once again we wish to bring to the|
attention of all that an organization;
can funtion only when it has membership,!
Here on Adak there are a great number!
who are eligible to belong to the F.R.A,
but have not joined because those - -who
belong have forgotten that the club can
only do its best when its membership isi
large; However even with a large member
ship the club will not function if all
are not behind it. This club is like
any other club and we can make it a
place where all want to go if we get be
hind it. We have elected new Officer’s:
and we are sure that they will, do their.
best to make the club what we all want
if everyone of us help them, It is of
course up to the officers to do the:
work, but it is every members job to at-:
tend meetings and to come to the club:
when it is open as it can only operatei
when it has sufficient customers. We j
now1 wish to extend to all members of the j
F.R.A., their ladies, and their guests ,\
and invitation to a .banquet ior tnem-j
stagnation of Officers to be held on 2;
June 195Bo The club will open at 1800* I
The Installation ceremonies will be at.
1900« The Dinner will then follow - -at!
approximately 1930, We have gone to the j
great length to bring to all a very won- ;
derful evening which will include dan- :
cing,now then just let me say once again!
’’Lets all come and enjoy ourself and get;
behind our club to make this coming year '
the best year here on the RockU Yes, it:
is all free. See you at the F.R.A.
