Triennial Conference Reflections By Mattie Anderson
A nostalgic account recalls the 1936 Associated Country Women of the World conference in Washington. It details attendees from 24 countries and 44 states, including Nash and Halifax counties, with notable figures such as Mrs. J. E. Wood and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. The piece highlights sessions, a White House tea, folk programs, and the closing sunset ceremony by the Potomac River. It notes future plans for a 1989 London gathering and emphasizes global unity and self-improvement ideals.
