On May 12, the Fillmore Women’s Service Club welcomed the 2010-2011 Board of Directors at a special installation dinner held at the Senior Center. Club member Tobey Bowers presented outgoing president Jeanne Klittich with a beautiful scrapbook assembled by the club, showcasing a year’s worth of memories. Before presenting the new officers, Bowers gave an account of the club’s history: in 1963, a group of young women formed the Fillmore Jr. Women's Club, which later became the Jr. Ebell Club. When the ladies reached 30 years of age, however, they could no longer belong and had to move on to the Ebell Club—but many of the members had bonded by then and did not want to leave their friends. Thus in 1979, they voted to become a service club. Friendships run strong to this day in this organization that has worked to make a difference in the community through fundraisers to support scholarships, Senior Center programs, nursing and convalescence homes, the Red Cross, and other charitable efforts. The club also enjoys social events such as potlucks and local excursions. |
