Final Report of Armenian Fund Christmas Offerings
Representatives of Dillon Protestant churches gathered at the Rectory to consider receiving offerings for Armenians and Syrians. Methodists and Baptists planned Christmas gifts, with boxes placed in stores and a dormitory box. Contributions from many local shops and offices totaled modestly, with the Baptist and Methodist churches forwarding receipts and a comparison noting last year’s larger combined gift from Catholic and Protestant groups plus lodges. Despite lower total than the previous year, the per-church effort appeared proportionally larger given the reduced participation.
