Hello Everyone, this week has been productive, but time on this project seems to be passing quickly and I am trying to pick up the pace to accomplish as much as possible. I now have nine of the twenty-seven boxes completed with much of the annual and monthly operational club activity records and Junior Club project reports in folders. I have also made significant progress on creating folders for Club history as well as Woman’s Club events and projects. The remaining boxes awaiting processing contain ledgers and journals, printed matter and ephemera, newspaper clippings, photos, and slides, and some remaining loose paperwork. I have a good plan of attack for next week and am eager to get started on Tuesday.
The Woman’s Club of Claremont has had some great fundraising events throughout their history and have been very creative in coming up with event themes. I have come across some wonderful event programs for fashion shows from the 1950’s and 1960’s with such titles as “Autumn Fashion Treasures,” “Fashions for a Goddess,” and “Strawberry Supreme,” with some programs being handmade. Check them out!
