Our Club began in 1984. Betty Luntz was our first president. She knew President Reagan when he was the governor of California and she was active in Republican Politics in California.
When Louise Keene was president in the 2000s she created a new logo & began singing “God Bless America” and “Happy Birthday” to the members who had birthdays that month at the end of each meeting.

There is an account of a 7 -day trip into 6 counties in the spring of 1924 when several clubs were formed. In May 1924, a formal constitution and bylaws were adopted
