La Mesa Redonda Club, now in the tenth year of its existence, offers the following report:

While our members have enjoyed many social afternoons and good musical programs, La Mesa Redonda takes great pride in the work of the Civic and Philanthropic sections.

With a membership of ninety, we have worked together with one common interest, the success and welfare of the club.

The chief aim of the President has been to bring the members more closely together, united as one family, without cliques or factions.

The First Vice-President has filled the President's chair during the year, the regularly elected President having resigned from that office.

The milk question was thoroughly discussed and prompt action taken. Three members of La Mesa Redonda were appointed on Mayor ROLPH's committee to assist in the investigation and the final action in the matter.

Mrs. L. M. CULVER, Chairman of the Women's Court Department, gave the club a very interesting and instructive afternoon, telling the members of the great good that has been accomplished by the social workers on her committee.

One program was devoted to California History and Landmarks.

Most effective work has been done by the Thrift sections.

La Mesa Redonda was one of the twenty-eight clubs participating in the Federation Fete at the Fairmont Hotel.

The Philanthropic section has distributed thirty-four layettes since June, 1919, and is very proud of the fact that no applicant has been refused. About one hundred and fifty other articles of clothing have been distributed to the needy, and a bed, mattress and bedding as well.

One young women, just out of a hospital, was furnished with a complete outfit of clothing.

This section provided, by request, two layettes for the quadruplets born recently in the Salvation Army Home in Oakland.

Several boxes of dried fruits, nuts, candies and jellies were distributed by this section at the holiday season.

La Mesa Redonda Club had the honor of having one of its members appointed Chairman of Press and Publicity Committee for Baby Welfare Week.
