Community Chest receives pledges
The first phase of the 1972 Community Chest drive was conducted Monday morning at a 7 o'clock breakfast when board of directors members and top donors during the 1971 fund-raising campaign made their contributions or signed pledge cards.
Cards containing names of 100 other prospective contributors were distributed among the 32 persons present, who are to make contacts and invite those 100 persons to a second breakfast, next Monday morning.
Community Chest President Bob Jordan and drive Chairman Lyle Syemour hope that the drive will be completed by each of the solicitors no later than Oct. 23.
The goal for this year's Community Chest drive is $10,000. The '72 theme is "Thanks to You, It's Working."
