Douglas Home Demonstration Club Roots in the 1930s
The Douglas Home Demonstration Club began in the early 1930s with Miss Sophie Stone organizing eight members. By 1933 all Douglas women joined, learning food preservation and meal variation under the home demonstration program. Through the 1930s the club funded church projects, built a clubhouse, and supported community causes while expanding membership and activities.
