HOME MOVIES FOR MARCH PACE 123 Z)ke Reader Speak* Continued from Page 90 charter membership of five members to a modest number of about forty members— all avid movie making enthusiasts. During the intervening time the club has moved from place to place as the demands for more space and better facilities made themselves apparent. At a recent executive meeting it was decided that, if the club were willing, a fund would be created for the purchase of a lot and materials to build a new permanent club quarters — owned by the club itself. The idea went over with a bang; already over $70.00 has been raised towards the realization of our goal in a little over three weeks since the idea's inception. Thinking that maybe other clubs might be interested in how we are raising our fund and also might like to use the same or a modified method, we mention it here. Previously, the club has been called on from time to time to furnish programs of club films to churches and other similar organizations. These films have been furnished free of charge; the member taking his own equipment and films and putting on the show at his own expense. Other than some publicity and good will, nothing more was gained by the club or the members. As time went by, these requests became more numerous and the expense of putting on the shows became greater — particularly where films had to be duplicated and projection bulbs renewed. Consequently, the policy was adopted whereby a charge would be made to these various organiaztions to cover the expenses of transportation and the use of film and projector — to which a percentage would be added to go into the "Building Fund" — the member furnishing his time free. The results were as expected. Some of the organizations who had been getting shows "for free" before, squawked about the charges and refused to pay them, even after they were informed as to why they were made. The result was that these organizations received no more shows; others, however, appreciated our efforts and gladly paid the small fee asked. In addition, showings on a semi-commercial nature were undertaken. War films, and commercial circuit films were shown, the payment for which was made by the commercial houses sponsoring the films, and the proceeds going into the "Building Fund." This idea went over big with the members and it 9/ ffJffcf/: IDEAS for the improvement or simplification of home movie cameras or projectors.
