Glendale News-Press: Women’s Page and Women’s Club
A few days ago, the Glendale News-Press in California (near Los Angeles) ran this story about one of the women’s organizations of the 1940s and 1950s. From the story:
“The Foothill Service Club for the Blind has found a good and lasting friend in Oakmont League, which for more than two years has made the club its major philanthropy,” wrote Betty Preston, Glendale News-Press Women’s Editor, in 1948.
“This year, in addition to actual hours spent with club members in craft work, the league presented $3,000 to the building fund. The gift, more than half of the $5,400 proceeds from Gold Gulch, is double that given last year,” Preston wrote. The gifts were designated toward the purchase of property and construction of a clubhouse.”
I have been working on an article about Betty Preston (a multiple Penney-Missouri Award winner) for the past few years. I hope to finish the revise-and-resubmit the summer.
