Toronto JCCA Membership Drive Aims For Record

ALL FORMS
OF

TORONTO.—“This year’s membership drive will surpass all
previous years”, predicts Archie Nishimura, chairman of this
year’s drive. The Toronto JCCA met last week to kick off its
1967 drive with its first ‘worknight’ under the chairman’s guidance.
This year, the usual stalwarts are being ably aided by what may
well prove to be the drive’s largest number of volunteers ever.
JCCA continues to function for the benefit of all the J.C.
conununity, and is taking advantage of this early opportunity
to drum up financial support for its many objectives. Lend it
your support by promptly filling out and returning the membership applications when received. These applications will be forwarded soon.
We welcome with pleasure our many friends who will be
renewing their memberships, along with those who will become
members for the first time. William Shakespeare left us much,
but on friendship, nothing more valid today as yesterday, than:
I count myself in nothing
else so happy
As in a soul remembering
