and Elect New Officers
MRS. SklNKLE To HEAD CLUB
Reports of the Officers Show That the
Woman's Club Has Made Great
Progress During the Year
Just Closed

The annual business meeting of the
the Kenosha Woman's Club was held
on Wednesday afternoon at the Club
rooms at the Simmons Library, and
the meeting proved to be the most
important ever held among the club
women of Kenosha,, and the plans
made for the coming year promise to
make the Kenosha Woman's Club a
power in Kenosha. The meeting
marked the close of the most prosper
Gus year In the history of the Club,
and the reports of the officers showed
that the Club was in excellent condi.
ton.
Mrs. z. 3. Simmons, Jr., the retir.
ing president Of the Club, who has
ably managed its affairs for the last
two years, spoke of the work that had
been done and urged that the Club
carry forward the plans that had been
made to make the Club greater fac
tor for good in the city and a greater
factor in advancing Kenosha. Mrs.
Simmons has taken an intense inter
est IN the affairs Of the Club during
her membership in the Club, and the
personal work that she rendered dur
ing her term as presiding officer has
brought the club forward until at
present 1t is one of the leading orgari-
cations among the women of the First
district.
The report of Mrs. Cora Skinkle,
who had served as secretary of the
Club, was also Of intense interest to
the mem bers of the rganization. The
report of the treasurer showed that
the Club was in excellent condition
and there is a good balance in the
treasury.
Much time was given to the discus
sion of plans for the new year and it
is certain that most interesting pro-
gram will be arranged by the Pro-
gram committee. The Historical pa
pers, which have been one of the feat
ures of the Club work in the last few
years, will be continued again next
year, but the Miscellaneous program
will receive more attention than in
other years.
One meeting month will probably
be given over to Home Economies and
the club will have several plans dur
ing the year which will be of interest
not only to the club members, but to
all the people of the city. No plans
have been made for lecture courses
but as in the past the women of the
club may be expected to furnish at
least one course of lectures during the
year. The program committee will
begin its work at once and the
manual for the coming year will be
issued early in the fall. The first
meeting for the new year will be held
or the first Wednesday of October.
After the reports of the officers and
the discussion of plans for the new
year the new officers of the club were
elected as follows.
President-Mrs. Cora Sutherland
Skinkle.
Vice-President- Mrs. Mary T.
Grant.
