These two years have been Good but
so far not marked by any outstanding events or accomplishments.
Both years the Club contributed to
the Community Chest, the Red Cross and the Crippled Children’s Hospital.
Bundles of clothing were sent to different welfare agencies and a
contribution was made to the nurses scholarshipfund.
At Christmas in 1948 the Club
provided dinner and gifts of clothing, toys, and fruit for the little girls
at Cuddihy Hall. Later in the year when the emergency first aid station,
equipped by the Woman’s Monday Club during the war, was dismantled the
sheets, pillow cases, towels and blankets were given to the Hall.
On February 14, 1949 the Club
celebrated its fifty second birthday with a tea at the Nueces Hotel. About
two hundred and fifty members and guests attended.
The Club gave a sixty dollar
scholarship to the loan fund of the Corpus Christi Art Colony. Three thirty
dollar scholarships were given by individual members.
During 1949 our Club lost two
members by death. Mrs. G. R. Scott founder and first president and Mrs. R.
G. Terrill.
This year Cuddihy Hall did not need
a Christmas dinner, but the Club was asked to give thirty nine yards of
outing flannel which was made into pajamas by the older girls. Thanksgiving
and Christmas dinners were given to needy families. The family helped at
Christmas will be kept as a Club project for the coming year.
The record of the three and one half
months remaining in this year cannot be written at this time. We hope it
will be good.
