Dear Faculty, Administration, Student Body, Collegian:
May we extend our sincere thanks in appreciation
for your support of the American Red Cross 1943 War
Fund Drive.
■ On another page of the paper you will find a complete report of the Fresno State College receipts. The
total was $1,107.60.
You of the faculty, administration and employees
.should be especially commended on your generous contributions. Your individual checks varied from one to sixty
dollars. We realize that many of you contributed at
home and also supported our college drive.
The children of the training school were very
thoughtful to assist us with the drive and we wish to
thank them for their support.
Our work and responsibilities were made easier by
knowing that the entire Student Body was behind the
drive. Your total contribution amounted to $229.69. We
especially wish to thank the 71 individual students who
contributed one dollar or more and the seven splendid
organizations who sent in organization checks in addition to individual contributions.
Doc Hyde and the War Night committee turned in
the entire proceeds of Friday night's war night to the
Red Cross. The collections amounted to $30.84, which
aided in "swelling" our total.   Again—our thanks.
Last but not least, we wish to commend the entire
Collegian staff for their "all out support". The editorials
and articles, the graciousness and enthusiasm with which
you .supported the Red Cross Drive was a most vital
factor in the success of the drive.
. To each individual and group who so willingly supported the Red Cross Drive, wo of the Pre-nursing honorary club wish to express our sincerest appreciation.
We enjoyed working with you to put over successfully
our share in this tremendous national Red Cross War
Fund Drive.
Very Sincerely,
PI NU GAMMA.
