Unity and Service Highlight 1920 1921 Club Year
The club opened last fall as a federated group with 135 members and carried out twelve miscellaneous programs. It supported a free kindergarten, started a graded school reference library, ensured medical exams for children, improved drinking water, and provided playground equipment. A penny lunch was not opened. Activities included a Historical Pilgrimage to Metcalfe home, speeches by noted figures, a Community Thanksgiving dinner, a Christmas tree for 200 children, and a free statewide musical program. The year ended with a crafts exhibit, pottery talks, sewing displays, and a Field Day. The group donated over $650 to local children and community projects, reporting strong attendance and debt-free status.
