History

The All American Study Club was organized in November 1919. The club’s purpose was to study American history, American literature and any topic pertaining to American interests. Mrs. William Crosbie was the first president.

The club was federated in 1920. The membership was about sixteen to twenty-six members. The club had luncheon meetings held on the first and third Fridays of each month. The club also organized service days and social meetings each year. During World War II, many special meetings were held for the purpose of sewing for the Red Cross.
