Things I have seen from this Women club

Women’s Clubs

Objects of Organization

Women’s clubs are all founded on the principle that women have large responsibilities, both in the home and out of the home. Many recognize the fact that they owe a great deal to their own families but they do not so often feel how much they owe to others in their community.

Women’s clubs aim to make the individual, the home, and the community more useful in every way. They can bring into a neighborhood a spirit of helpfulness which can be obtained in almost no other way, and a fresh enthusiasm comes to the individual member as well as to the life of the community. If there is a close relation between the club and the church this is especially true.

In bringing women together into clubs it is wise to have some definite end in view which will appeal to the largest number of women that one hopes to reach. But there is no one object which will bring all women of a community together; therefore, although a club may start out with one definite object it is often wise to introduce others or to combine a number of objects for which the club shall work. The following are some of the activities in which women’s clubs have become interested.

(1) Clubs for church work

Sewing societies

Societies for parsonage improvement

Societies for helping with the pastor’s salary

(2) Clubs for Missionary Work

Working for institutions such as old folks’ homes, poorhouses, jails, schools, or any other institutions which are in need of articles that women can furnish.

Working for the poor and sick.

Working and caring for orphans.

(3) Clubs for Community Improvement

This object furnishes a number of fields for usefulness among which are:

The cleaning and beautifying of home yards.

The whitewashing of outbuildings and fences.
