ANNUAL REPORT
A movie program was started in which movies will be shown during the winter months. Also inaugurated was a giant "Kiddies Day", which we hope to hold every year. It is a day solely for all children, with television personalities, different events and games that all may participate in.
Sincere thanks are extended to area merchants, who so generously contributed. Everything was free, including food and drink. We also wish to thank all the volunteers who helped to make "Kiddies Day", the success that is was.
Appreciation is also extended to Dorothy Sanson and Judith Bourgault, Playground Supervisors, for their untiring services.
We wish, at this time, to thank the children of Dighton for their excellent cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, WILFRED RHINES, Chairman MANUEL SANSON HUMBERT COSTA
