The women of the association have in bank between $3,000 and $4,000, which they have been saving to build with. This money can now be immediately applied to the construction of a needed addition. The Munificent gift of Mrs. Nettleton places the association on a footing which will greatly lessen its trials and the struggles which it has experienced in carrying forward its excellent work.
