Chamber of Commerce Makes Him Life Member at New Year Celebration.
The Altamonte Springs Chamber of Commerce held a memorable meeting
on the last evening of the old year, the feature of the evening being
the presentation by the Chamber of a beautiful hand illuminated address
to B. L. MALTBIE, Mayor of Altamonte and Mrs. Maltbie, recent doners
to the town of a Community Club House. The address contained the gift
of a life membership in the Chamber and is signed by the officers and
all the members.
The text is as follows:--
"With the closing of the old year and the birth of a new, we know
of no more fitting manner in which to express our friendship and love
for you than to present to your this certificate of Life Membership in
the Altamonte Springs Chamber of Commerce as a token of our appreciation of your gift to the citizens by presenting them with this beautiful club house.
Kindness is the lamp that lights the world and certainly the
brilliancy of the lamp you have lighted in Altamonte Springs made clear
the way to closer friendship and desire for mutual unity of community
interests of all our people than has ever before been attempted since
the organization of our town. Your generosity at all times to all
worthy movements, as well as your sterling manhood and womanhood has so
endeared you to our hearts that the end of time alone will efface you
from our memories.
We feel, and all Altamonte Springs feels, distinctly honored having
you as citizens, and this Chamber of Commerce owes you a debt of gratitude that strive as we may can never be repaid. But those of us now
living and those to follow will never cease in their efforts to prove
themselves worthy of your friendship in this organization. What the
future holds in store for you, whatever it be, happiness or sorrow,
remember the hearts of all are with you always."
