Wide Range of Activities Interest Girls of Waterloo
Dotha Warker reports on Waterloo YWCA expanding duties after World War I in shaping women’s war work. The organization raised 4.6 million dollars and led Patriotic League efforts with over 100 girls wearing the patriotic badge. The group grew from 700 to 1,300 members in 1917 and runs gym, cafeteria, recreation, Bible study, and camp programs with plans for more facilities and wider reach in 1918.
