Change in Chest financing suggested to cover ten months
Dr. A B Sias president of the Athens Community Welfare Association proposed financing the seven Community Chest agencies for ten months instead of a full year. With $7 338 30 in the Chest and $12 000 needed the plan aims to provide fair disbursement and avoid agencies failing to raise funds independently. The proposal would fund Jan 1 to Nov 1 and hold a campaign in October 1937 to raise a full year’s amount, reducing extra months for the Salvation Army and other agencies.
