The Pullman Federated Women's Club is affiliated with the General
Federation of Women's Clubs, a national federation which has existed since
1890. The Pullman Women's Club is in the North Eastern District of the
Washington State Federation of Women's Clubs.
The Pullman Women's Club, which has an average of twenty members, was
first organized in May of 1921. Previously, since 1914, the club was called
Pullman Mother's Council, and Pullman Mother's Club. The club became part of
the Federation in October, 1921, and since then the club has undertaken a large
number of social and community activities.
The club includes several departments, such as Art and History, Better
Homes, Child Study, Civics, Education, the Garden Club, Pre-School Mothers, and
Epsilon Sigma Omicron. Each department has its own meetings and activities,
aside from the general meetings and activities. Guest lecturers have often
appeared at club meetings, and the general public has often been invited. As a
whole club, community service projects were organized. Many projects of the
Women's Club were social achievements, such as their City Beautification Plan
in 1960 and 1961. The club raised money for the Youth Center Building,
hospitals, and created the Pre-Natal Clinic. Their Gerontology Clinic, for the
elderly in Pullman, was awarded by the Washington State Federation of Women's
Club Community Service Contest in 1960.
The records of The Pullman Federated Women's Club, 1914-1981, are
arranged into sequences, in alphabetical and chronological order within. The
minutes of the different club department meetings are first, followed by
community service reports, and Pullman Club annuals. This is followed by the
North Eastern District, Washington and General Club annuals, directories,
yearbooks, constitutions, and club magazines. Following that are financial and
other papers, newspaper clippings, and finally scrapbooks.
This collection is open for research use.
