day at 8 PM, the club will celebrate
two events of interest and Importance
in the community. On this day the
club will be ~16 years old and will lay
the corner stone of its new home in
Sonoma. The festivities will begin
with a luncheon to it's members and
invited guests at the home of Mrs.
Elisha Hanson, in Alta Vista, chair
man of the present building committee
and new construction committee, a
short distance from the club property,
from where the gathering will pro-
ceed to the lot and participate in the
cornerstone laying. The president of
every club in Montgomery County, the
county officials residing in this com.
munity and every one of prominence
have been invited to have a part in
this days program and be present.
In a study of the minutes and the
first programs of the club for the first
year, mention was made of the acqui-
sition of club home, and all
through the years, each year, some
definite mention was made of work
done toward this end. With that
small membership of seven, no
obstacle appeared to dim the vision
of this accomplishment, and it is to
these forward-looking. far-seeing wom-
en- that the realization Of the dream
has come true.
Within the first year of the clubs
formation, 1911-12, the club joined the
Montgomery County Federation of
WOmen's Clubs, two years later Joined
the State Federation and in 1915
joined the General Federation. This
evidences the serious desire on the
part of the then small membership to
be of real value and service in the
community and to add it's weight to
the deliberations of both the State and
General Federations.
From a membership of seven in
1911, today the club has over a hun
dred energetic, active women. Eleven
new members were admitted during
the past year, with more names still
to be acted upon before the close of
the club year in June.

party of the club will take place at
the home of Mrs. Charles l. Corby, on
the Rockville pike, the proceeds from
which are to be donated to the build
ing committee. This affair marks the
social activities of the club and will
be the crowning event of the season.
Many of Washington's most prom
inent women have expressed their de-
sire to be present. The tables will be
placed on the lawns of the Corby
estate, with it's fine views. and every
thing possible will be done to make
this not only the biggest but the most
beautiful of all the garden card
parties in the history of the organiza.
