Miss Roberts is leaving as she is going to be married, and we are all united
in wishing her a very happy future.
The Children's Party was held at the Nursery shortly before Christmas.
Alderman and Mrs. Fisher Yates gave assistance which was much appreciated,
and Mr. Whitehead very kindly took the part of Father Christmas.
Again Mrs. Brown, the Treasurer, sent a most delicious Christmas cake
for the mothers, which gave them much pleasure.
Mrs. Izzard, the Secretary, lent a delightful radio-gramophone for the
occasion, and also fairy lights for the Christmas Tree which thrilled the children.
These, with the kind gifts of the Committee and friends, made the Nursery
Party a successful and happy one.
HONORARY TREASURER'S REPORT.
(Ruth Brown.)
As one year follows another it becomes increasingly difficult to express
in changeful phrases our continued appreciation and most grateful thanks for
the support, financially, that the Day Nursery continues to receive from its
many good friends.
May I therefore, on behalf of the Committee, be permitted to say "thank
you" most sincerely to each and every donor and subscriber whose name appears
in the list of the report.
We are especially indebted to those kindly folk who, by organising dances,
concerts, etc., on behalf of the Nursery, continue to assist us so well. To those
ladies who gave their services on Flag Days, "Alexandra Rose Day" and
"Children's Day" we desire to express our full appreciation, for their services
have entitled us to share in the proceeds of the total collections.
Then, also, we have again been wonderfully assisted by His Worship the
Mayor of Hackney, Herbert W. Butler, Esq., through whose good offices an
amount of £28 3s. Od. was donated to our "Pound Day."
The income we derive through the Sunday Cinemas' Charities is so
tremendous a help that our appreciation cannot be too sincerely expressed. We
hope earnestly for the continuance of support from this source.
To our Chairman, Alderman C. Fisher Yates, and Mrs. Yates, may I once
again say "thank you" and in so doing express our admiration for their continued
great interest in the work and progress of the Day Nursery.
With such an indefatigable pair at the helm, to resist the example set is
impossible, and so we Committee members—together with the continued support
of all our good friends—hops to assist them to continue happily for many years
the good work that is being accomplished in Hackney through the Day Nursery.
