Determined Effort to Keep Afloat
From Our Own Correspondent PAPEETE, October 8.
AN extraordinary general meeting of the Tahiti Yacht Club was held last week, to consider fin ancial problems brought about by the prevailing lack of funds.
The club, which occupies very com fortable quarters on the coolest por tion of the Papeete waterfront, has had a hard struggle to keep afloat during the past two years, and has had to rely to some extent upon the generosity of visiting yachtsmen in order to make ends meet.
The balance sheet presented at the meeting revealed a much better state of affairs than was generally antici pated, and a concerted effort is now being made to keep the organisation alive. A ball is to take place in the club premises shortly, and an inno vation, which will help popularise the club and, incidentally, assist fin ances, is a provision for the entrance of regularly introduced visitors on payment of a small fee.
