M e e t i n g in councilman chambers Monday night, direc- )r s were informed th a t the membership s tands approximately 800 sh o r t of th e goal of 1,600 needed. Directors also launched a serious discussion of th e possibility of Withdrawing from the annua l Community Chest Drive this year and conducting th e i r own campa ign for funds — due entirely to the fact th a t unde r the present set-up they will be u nable to operate satisfactorily. The Recreation Center for the past four years h a s not conducted a door-to-door campaign for funds. This y e a r the Cente r ’s contribution from the Warwick Community Chest was cut to $4,500, approximately $2,000 less th a n the amo u n t budgeted. The reduction in the amo u n t reques ted by the Center, it was pointed out, is due to the Chest not hit tin g its goal for 1961. With the new building to be placed in operation some time this year, th e Center will . face a ma te r ia l deficit if it a t tempts to utilize its new facil-ties to the fulles t extent, directors asserted.

M e e t i n g in councilman chambers Monday night, direc- )r s were informed th a t the membership s tands approximately 800 sh o r t of th e goal of 1,600 needed. Directors also launched a serious discussion of th e possibility of Withdrawing from the annua l Community Chest Drive this year and conducting th e i r own campa ign for funds — due entirely to the fact th a t unde r the present set-up they will be u nable to operate satisfactorily. The Recreation Center for the past four years h a s not conducted a door-to-door campaign for funds. This y e a r the Cente r ’s contribution from the Warwick Community Chest was cut to $4,500, approximately $2,000 less th a n the amo u n t budgeted. The reduction in the amo u n t reques ted by the Center, it was pointed out, is due to the Chest not hit tin g its goal for 1961. With the new building to be placed in operation some time this year, th e Center will . face a ma te r ia l deficit if it a t tempts to utilize its new facil-ties to the fulles t extent, directors asserted.
