For the Amusement of Youngsters — The Youngsters' Club

The Youngsters' Club

At last we have been able to realize the idea of the club — the project you have been awaiting ever since you first heard the name of our committee. Every one of you now has the right to feel that this club has been founded for his amusement in his free hours, after he has finished preparing his lessons and his daily schoolwork. You will therefore find its doors open to you outside school hours and on the weekly holidays and feast days.

We hope you will find in its various sections — a playground, a garden, a cinema, a library, music and singing, indoor games, ping-pong, and more — what will bring joy to your hearts and give you fresh energy for keeping up with your lessons.

For this club we have rented a large house on Sadat Street — Ras Beirut — in the Itani property, near the house of Dr. Nakhman. We shall begin registering the names of members from opening day, Saturday, October 28, 1950, from 2 to 5 in the afternoon.

You will find a list of the club's amusement hours posted on its outer door, together with the terms of membership.

We welcome a visit from every one of you who would like to become acquainted with his new club, which is considered the first of its kind in all these Arab lands.

A hearty welcome to you.
