This picture was taken in the gymnasium of the Lester School in Downers Grove.  The church rented this facility after they outgrew their original meeting place.  From the Lake Union Herald, December 14, 1965, Vol. LVII, No. 49, page 13:
“Emil Donda has been sparking the Building Fund by circulating a large five gallon bottle for contributions.  The children took great delight as they watched him fish out the $267 it contained, which ranged from pennies to a $50 bill.  Others placed their offering in “Surprise Envelopes”.  Clarence Fields, the church treasurer, was on hand to count the total, which came out to $2,500 for the day.”
