Networking
On May 4, 1937, President Hazel Vanderwoort said:
“One dream which we have had for some time and one which your president previous to me also had
hoped to bring into being, was the compilation of a roster. We appreciate, of course, that the
Club was not formed for business purposes, but we cannot but feel that if we were going to
buy a hat or have a circular set out, we would prefer to go to someone we knew, if we could
just refer to our roster and find the information desired. So many other matters of a more
pressing nature occupied the time of the Executive that we did not feel the time was ripe for
incurring this expense...we hope the incoming Executive may be able to give this some
consideration.”
June 11, 1947 – It was finally moved that Mrs. Mary Primeau proceed with
preparing a roster of club members in booklet form, to cost no more than 25¢ per
member.
By 1955 we were affiliated with Local Council of Women, Inter-Club Council for
Women in Public Affairs, United Nations, Canadian Association of Consumers, and
the Elizabeth Fry Society.
In the early sixties, it was a practice of the Club to have individual members
attend meetings of other organizations: Association of Women Electors, Canadian
Consumer's Association, the Elizabeth Fry Society and many more, bringing back
reports on the activities of these various organizations.
In 1962 the Special Projects Committee proposed “Contact Groups”.
Nothing...until suddenly in 1982 we had our Networking Committee.
