A musical program of very rare merit
Will be given to those who will just come and hear it.
We'll give you good cheer for the weak inner man
And a gallery of pictures unique to well scan;
We'll meet young and old with greetings most hearty

These invitations can be given and sent out beforehand, each accompanied by a tiny silk bag to hold the money. Prepare a nice musical treat and something good to eat. Have each member of the society giving the entertainment bring a picture of himself when a baby or small child, and have a picture gallery. Do not forget to be very social and make every one feel that he is welcome, not only for the money he brings, but for himself also.
