OUR ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
Perhaps you will notice that a good deal of the space in Chimes this month is devoted to the activities of the Athletic Association. We have a good reason for this. At this time only about one out of three employees belongs to our AA. In order for any program of this nature to remain a success, it must meet with enthusiastic response from its members.
The AA has always belonged to the employees of NBC. It was established about 15 years ago, taking the place of the old NBC Baseball team that used to make an annual outing to Sing Sing for a game with the residents there. As the name implies, sports activities have been especially prominent in AA plans through the years. Among these there have been groups set up to provide facilities and very often reduced rates for those interested in such sports as bowling, basketball, Softball, horseback riding, tennis and others.
For those of you who aren't interested in such strenuous endeavor, despite the health benefits that might be ascribed to it, there are clubs organized by those interested in the arts. Included in this category are the camera, hobby, and art clubs.
Whether we are interested in sports or in the arts, we are all looking for just plain old fashioned fun. We have had informal gettogethers at the Hotel Dorset, dances each year, and of course, most popular, the Annual NBC AA Outing. (See page 3)
Membership in the AA costs only $1.00 a year. $1.00 is a small price to pay for all the benefits we receive as active members of the AA. Its true we want your dollar for the AA, but more important than that, we want a large and active membership. Some of the more popular projects have sort of "faded away" (they never die) because the indivuals who were most active have left the company or are tied up in other things. We can reorganize these groups, but we need evidence of your active support. To make our AA a success, we must strive for 100% membership, and this membership must be 100% "livewood". This year thei $1.00 membership fee covers the cost of the Outing. Send your application and dollar to Employee Services, Room 735, and insure yourself of the right to participate in the Outing and other AA functions.
