The following is the annual re- port of the Charlottetown Y.M.C.A. l0;- lhe year ending April 30th, l9- 41. Here is an attempt to lillliil a. word picture of the work 0f the Association throughout the past year. In some phases of our work we may have stood still or even gone backwards. but in others we have progressed enough to make us feel that the Association has 80118 forward. There i; work to bo done; a community to be served; the men of the armed forces to be assisted, and the Association is honestly en- deavourin to fulfill it‘s varied al- lotted tasks without neglecting any o! them. The Secretary is greatly indebted to the president and members of the Board of Directors, the various officers and members of commit- tees, and all volunteers who have assisted with the work of the As- sociation during the past. year. To Miss Ireilo. Worthy, trim has work- ed tlrelessly with c!'| of slrls and women. as well as assisting in the office and in many other ways. we offer our sincere thanks and appreciation. To Jim Cudmore we also express our gratitude for his faithfulness in voluntarily looking after the Senior Boys‘ Class. Because of lack of finances dur- ing the past yearit was necessary to call on our Y. M. C. A. Clubs and on volunteers for even more help than in normal years. The ready response oi all was gratifying in- deed. The Hl-wf Grads provided desk supervision almost every night all winter; provided materials and labour for painting the ssntal room and offices in addition to giving their usual forms of service. The Ladies Auxiliary has provided us with a drinking fountain, curtains for the lobbv. new tables, renovat- ed the kitchen and performed its multifarious tasks its usual. This in- cludes catering to the Y's Men and Grads‘ suppers. Father and Sons’ banouets, etc. The Y‘s Men have provided several hundred dollars for repairs to the bowling allEys and the provision of additional staff af- ter the oneninq of the gymnasium. etc.-a.ll this in addition to their regular services.

War services and Local Main- teuancc. The result of these Cam- paigns was very gratifying. The entire debt was cleared so that the year was started with n clean slate. More than $6500, was raised on tire Island for war services. These two Campaigns raised almost 'I‘welve Thousand Dollars for other than current expenditure. Because of this vory large amount raised by the Y.M.C.A. we were unable to raise anything like the usual amount for local maintenance. Instead of the usual Five Thousand Dollar: we trad only about Two Thousand Dol- ‘aits. plus our incoznc t.) carry on for tire year. In gpite o‘ this fact. by adopting a budget which had expenditures cut tn ‘he bone. and by increasing revenue from various sources we were able to end the year with a, small surplus, so that we now owe no bi1‘s and have mon- cy in the bank as well. More than a year ago the Gym- nasium was closed because of need- ed repairs to the building and lack of finances to make thesz repairs. After working under verv trying circumstances for "o. your it was felt by the Board that we could carry r-n no longer in this way, we were able to obtain financial aid amount- ing to more than Five Hundred Dollars, and with this we strength- ened the building. made renovations bought equipment and re-Qpened the Gymnasium. The result vans n renovation of interest. and activity in the whole building.
