Turning back the pages of the year 1934, we find that the Collegeport Woman’s Club has “carried on” well and the efforts put forth by our small, but faithful, membership may have given more forceful help to each one of us than we even realize for the last year has been one of bewilderment and history. Loyalty means much to us as a club and individuals also. Therefore we have been ready and willing to do whatever came to us to be done and the sum total of the year’s work shows that we were smilin’ thru. 9 regular and 2 called meetings have been held with an average attendance of 10 members. During the summer months, the Club met with the Union and the King’s Daughters.
The program committee has done
splendid work in presenting interesting and instructive programs
which were as follows as to subject. One meeting was a memorial to Mrs. V. R. Haisley who was a life-member, but, passed on in Dec. 1933. Miss Carter was present on two afternoons and gave interesting talks on the Girl Reserves organization. On May 5th, the Club entertained the County Federation of Women’s Clubs. A year’s subscription to the Federation News was taken. A reception to the teachers was given on Sept. 17th. A contribution made to the County Health Committee. The annual purchase of a 1st Aid Kit for the school was made. The Club also made it possible to place several new books on the library shelves. These activities were small and few for a year’s work, but “Mighty Oaks From Little Acorns Grow.” So let us not feel disheartened, but with renewed efforts on the back of each individual, may we resolve to accomplish more in the coming year by 1935, which commences here to greet us with a smiling face.
Respectfully Submitted, Mrs. Harry
