We can rightfully consider the past year as a full year’s work. Have held 12 meetings and with two or three exceptions, have had a full attendance of our membership. One executive committee meeting held at which time committees for the year were appointed. Have had splendid programs throughout the year, and fine response on the part of our members in accepting the part assigned them on the programs. As a Club we owe a hearty vote of thanks to our program committee. Personnel of said committee being Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Clapp & Mrs. King, for the splendidly arranged and compiled programs.

In a literary way, we may feel well pleased and personally I should say very much benefited by the well planned and well carried out programs of the past year. A willingness and interest on the part of every leader to do her part in the program assisted her, and co-operation of those taking a part on each program has made our year a success along this line, and much credit is due our Program Committee in their outline of work for the year. Under a special appointed Committee viz Mrs. Hurd, Mrs. Clapp & Mrs. Corse, the Constitution and By Laws of the Club, were re-written, and with a few changes necessary for the Club at the present time, were adopted as the working order of the Club.

Number of regular meetings held – ten Social affairs held during the year: In Feb. a program was given by the Club in connection with the “Women’s Union,” in commemorating the Bi-centennial of George Washington’s Birthday. On May 15th, a play “School days,” was given by Club members & husbands under direction of Mrs. Hurd. Receipts from same $26.00. On Sept. 10 our Club entertained the County Federation Meeting. 61 visitors and delegates were enrolled and entertained at lunch. Receipts $20.60. On Oct. 31st, a Hallow’een Party was given by the Club to the general public. Receipts from this ____ On Dec. 8 the Annual Christmas Party was held at the home of Mrs. Holsworth. Special work – At the Jan. meeting held at the Library, Mrs. Carter, district representative of the Girl Reserves, was present and gave a general [overview] of the girl’s work, with the object in view that the Woman’s Club would sponsor the movement, and eventually see fit to complete the organization. This was done in a short time, and at the Feb. meeting the request was made of the Club to assist the Girl Reserves in raising funds for their work. At the March meeting Miss Carter and the “Girl Reserves” were guests of the Club. Club assisted in the financing the “Mothers Tea” given by the Girl Reserves, honoring the Council members. For the greater part of the year Mr. Cable was hired by the Club to care for the Library grounds, paying him $1.25 per month. In May $15.00 was paid to the District Treasurer at Freeport for the “Girl Reserves” as the contribution from this Club. Also during May we paid the registration fee of $1.00 each for five girls who planned to attend the G. R. camp at LaPorte, also the transportation expenses, taking the girls to and from camp. On May 21 conducted a lunch counter at the school building during the election held there. On May 25, Collegeport Day, ice cream & cold drinks were sold under management of Social & Finance Committee of Club and Mrs. King, Pres. also of School Board proceeds of same were used for emergency needs of the School, such as payments on new sets of encyclopedias, school ground necessities & etc. Also on June 17, the same committee held a like sale and funds used through Club treasury. Paid $3.60 to Federation Memorial Home at Austin. Paid $1.00 to Clarence Prunty for special work on Library grounds. Pail $5.00 to supply materials for School Library work. Furnished the “Emergency Kit” for the School as heretofore. We had a delegate at all County Federation meetings during the year. Not as many programs as usual have been given this year, but due entirely to interruptions of outside weather, and not any fault at all of officers or committees. One outstanding program of the year, that will linger long, I think in the minds of all who were present to hear it, was the beautiful memorial service given by Mrs. Hurd, in memory of our beloved Mrs. Corse, who was taken from our midst on July 25, 1932. Our Club lost a very worthy and much interesting member in Mrs. Corse’s departure, but her influence and works still remain in our hearts and minds and her memory will be an inspiration to us all and others as long as our Club exists. As we look back on our year, 1932, may it be with satisfaction, yes, but not enough that we do not look forward to even better work in the coming year.
Respectfully Submitted, Mrs. L. E.

Years are epoch-making, and this past one of 1933, which started out with Old Man Depression holding ____ sway, shouts a brighter ending with the youngster NRA at the wheel. Our Club was one of the few who endorsed the Blue Eagle, and the recognition of that step by General Hugh Johnson, is one thing of which we may be proud. Every little bit helps and our mite, even tho it may be only as a grain of sand, when it joins other grains more power is given to move the slippery rebuild as our President Franklin D. Roosevelt is so determinedly endeavoring to do. During this year, 13 club meetings have been held (with 2 Executive Board meetings) and the average attendance has been 12. Very little has been accomplished in a financial way, but the regular programs have been both interesting and instructive. The Club, as sponsors of the Girl Reserves, helps in that line all that is possible. At the close of school, the banquet to be seniors was given by them and as usual, the Club provided the decorations for the graduation exercises. It was voted in March to hold all meetings at the Community House, which has been carried out. Miss Carter of the Houston Y. W. C. A. visited the Club at the March meeting and gave an interesting talk following the program which was given by the Girl Reserves. Several meetings were devoted to Barter and Trade, the finances being increased in a small way each time. The ice cream and punch concessions for Collegeport Day were in charge of the Woman’s Club, assisted by the other organizations. The receipts being given to the Community House fund. At the July meeting it was voted to give %5.00 annually to this fund, also 10% of any paid admission entertainment that might be given in the future. The usual custom of providing a first-aid kit for the school was followed. A reception to the teachers was given, the Club paying the bill for the refreshments. We have had a part in helping the Patron’s Fund, and our Federation dues have been promptly paid. With one exception, the reports to the Federation have been given in person, and the Federation meetings have been well attended by our members. Death came to one of our life members, Mrs. V. R. Haisley, who was called on Dec. 26, 1933. Her example of loyalty to good and her steadfast faith may well be followed by each one of us. She has found Rest and Peace and may God bless her efforts on earth, never to be forgotten by those who knew her best. To the Collegeport Woman’s Club may this new year bring prosperity and happiness in serving. Let our slogan be “To Carry On,” combined with the regular one of many years standing, “Magnify the Good.”
