HISTORY:<br />
twentieth year in this now world famous<br />
organization of showmen and affiliates<br />
in whose hearts the main objective has<br />
always been. CHARITY.<br />
Although one of the oldest tents in<br />
Variety International, Tent 3 has had<br />
only one home since its inception, and<br />
that has been in the Netherland Plaza<br />
Hotel. S])acious though the quarters<br />
may now be, they were not this way at<br />
the start, but small as they were twenty<br />
years ago, they grew with the organization<br />
and its aims.<br />
.\s the aims grew, charity grew along<br />
with them, and even though at no lime<br />
were the charities very pretentious, they<br />
were nevertheless consistent, and one of<br />
its most consistent ones has been the<br />
Foundling Home.<br />
And today with our work curtailed<br />
because of unavoidable circumstances,<br />
the Foundling Home is still the main<br />
charity. This one charity the Cincinnati<br />
tent pledges to continue and add as<br />
many more as it will have the ability<br />
and income to sustain.<br />
Almost 18 years ago, Tent 3 joined<br />
the rapidly growing number of units in<br />
the Variety Club organization.<br />
