Cheerio Club Active
Cheerio Club, a group of women
living in and near Beaverton, who. in
pre-war days met regularly for a
social good time. now. although they
still enpjoy their meetings, are taking
an active part in many worth while
activities.
At Easter, each of the four hundred
patients at the Veterans hospital was
remembered with a filled Easter nut
cup. a hand decorated napkin and
flowers for their trays.
They have made three generous
contributions to the Red Cross and
helped with funds for Disaster Re
lief, ditty bags, Girl Scout and Coast
Guard recreation room.
You find them represented among
those sewing and knitting for the
Red Cross, helping with War Bond
drives, donating blood, driving donors
to the blood center, helping witih sol
diers kits, disaster relief, ration
board, air craft identification, work
ing for U. S. O., serving at George
White Service Center, and doing work
on the home front that relieves men
for active duty.
All this, and much
more is being done by this group of
women, whom we think deservedly
bears the name. Cheerio Club.
