according to Hcraehel K, Rurgena,
pfaaidcnt of tha organixatlon. The
i drive for 1BB0 inembora for^tha
efty civic organhsatibn commenced
February 27 and war to have end*
ed March 11.
In a meeting of the dlrectofa
and committee headn of the aeao-
ciatton last week, it wee decided
to continue the drive JUacause of
the large number of pjrsonn who
-remained to be contacted-
‘'Individual memberships are on
an even keel and the prospects
for reaching our quota in this
dlviaion By April 8 are excellent,”
Burgess said. "I have found that
the general consensus of opinion
of our.directors and committeemen
pbints out a lack of cooperation
on the part of College Station
businessmen in this "matter of
membership, and I cannot urge
tob strongly the prompt attention
of the local business people to this
•1960 membership drive of the Col
lege Station Development Associa
tion and Chamber of Commerce.”
Friends Show Interest
■ The friends of the community
Hying and doing business in Col
lege Station’s nearby city of Bry
an have shown a great deal of in
terest in the drive, according to
the association officers. - A large
part of the funds and memberships
have been ma^e by Bryan busi-
r.nesses and 'individuals.
N. M. McGinnis and Homer B.
Adams are co-chairmen qf the 1950
membership drive. Adams report
ed that his commercial member
ship division, which is responsible
for business memberships in Col
lege Station had not come up to
expectations. McGinnis Jre ported
that' individual memberships have
been plentiful and major problem
of his work dealt with the matter
of contacting everyone,
“Happy To Pay”
1 -V.! ' " . - • jl
[‘We jiave found that nearly all
-' persons we have had the opportun
ity to talk to have been happy tp
make their payment of fees for the
I960 'membership," MyGinnis dev
dared, "Our principal difficulty Is
the huge numbers who must be
contacted and the extension of the
drive will help those civic minded
citizens who are helping in our
drive reach everyone that la in
te rested.”
Burgess pointed out that many
persons had used the mailing of
dues as a means of lifting the
work from the, volunteer collec
tors. Membership dues mt»y be paid
by mailing a check to th* Collet
Station Development Assoclatlbi
and Chamber of Commerce In care
of the City Offices, College Sta
tion, Texas.
Membership dues are $5 for in
dividuals, $6 for family member
ships, and a fee for businesses
based upon the size of the con
cern. ' . j
