YOUNG MATRONS CLUB
OF WINDER.
Brief history of the Young Matrons’
Federated club of Winder, Ga.
In February, 1909, twelve years ago,
several friends met and decided to or
ganize a club of young married women
which they called the Young Matrons
club. Until this time .there had been
no social club of this nature in our lit
tle city.
These matrons invited other matrons
who were mutual friends to become
members until the membership was in
creased to twenty.
Since that time several have left to
make their homes in other cities, so
that the membership now numbers fif
teen. We have been very fortunate in
having lost only one member by death.
When this club was organized it was
simply as a social club, but in October
1918, three years ago, we decided to
federate and identify ourselves with
the work the federated clubs of Geor
gia are engaged in, and since that time
we have been a part of this great or
ganization. Our club being small in
number, we have not been able to ac
complish all the things a club of lar
ger membership could have accomplish
ed, but the two things we have stood
for principally have been civic improve
ment and education.
In various ways we have given mate
rial aid to the city officials in trying to
make our little city more attractive as
well as sanitary, having placed over the
business section of the city a number
of garbage cans and fly traps, and
plans are now being made to beautify
some vacant lots by putting out shrub
bery, flowers and other plants which
we hope will be an improvement in that
way.
As to education, we have contributed
numbers of times to different causes
for the benefit of our Winder Public
schools, as well as sending a check each
year to our own federation school —the
Tallulah Falls school—and have con
tributed also to a fund for Agnes Scott
college. Last year we organized a
circulating library among the members
of the club and are making plans to
procure a room for the use of our club,
in the new Barrow county courthouse,
which will soon be completed.
During the war we bought Liberty
bonds, helped with the Red Cross work
and contributed in every way possible
to the welfare and comfort of our sol
diers ; practiced thrift and conserva
tion along all lines, and expect to con
tinue this practice of thrift.
At the north Georgia fair held in
Winder last October our club won first
prize of $25 for the prettiest float en
tered. At the last business meeting of
the club it was decided to buy the
manuals and take advantage of a nurs
es training course of six weeks to be
given by the Red Cross nurse of Bar
row county.
We are looking forward with much
pleasure to the district meeting of the
federated clubs of the ninth district
to be held with us in the spring, for
we feel sure it will be a great inspira
tion and benefit to our club.— Sunday’s
