THE ANNANDALE IMPROVEMENT CLUB
In Two Years It Has Bought a Piano for the Town
Hall
and Established a Library of Five Hundred Volumes
In proportion to the population Annandale has what
seems to be the largest and one of the most active clubs in the state--the Improvement
club. It was organized in 1898 with seventeen members and now has a membership of
sixty. It has interested itself in whatever undertakings seemed most desired by the
town and has done excellent work. One of its first successful projects was the purchase of
a piano for the town hall. This having been accomplished, the club turned its
attention to the question of a library. This work was undertaken last year and the
library now numbers 500 books. It is entirely in charge of the club and is housed in
a room in the town hall. It is open on Saturday afternoons from 2 to 5, and the club
members act as librarians by turns.
The officers of the club are:
President, Mrs. Henry K. Kelly; vice president, Mrs. Marion P. Satterlee;
secretary, Miss Ella Kelly; treasure, Miss Ada Ponsford; librarian, Mrs. S. H.
McGuire. The regular meetings of the club are held once month and are pleasant
gatherings. A recent meeting took the form of a colonial tea. |
