Subject: The New England Fat Men's Club...

...held its last dinner in 1927, going from cottage to cottage around Hall's Lake enjoying a marathon of dining which ended at Camp Farwell.
Miss Arbutus Saunders was the recreation director at Camp Farwell then.

The Fat Mens' toast
A toast to us, my good friends,
To bless the things we eat,
It has been full many a year
since we have seen our feet.

But who would lose a precious pound,
By trading sweets for sours,
It takes a mighty girth indeed,
To hold such hearts as ours.

Some of the members of the Fat Men's Club:

Mayors, legislators, governors, William Jennings Bryan.
William Howard Taft was invited but couldn't show preference, however he did visit the area. It is rumored that Teddy Roosevelt attended FMC meetings from time to time while hunting in the area.
