Presidents Message
In 1913, the first program held at the newly minted Sausalito Woman’s Club featured a well known suffragist who spoke on “The Power of Organizations by Women.” Such foresight! I wonder if our ten founding members imagined on that day, that their fledgling club would exist a century later, let alone that it would have grown into a powerful and vibrant group of more than 300 women. This is truly a time for CELEBRATION!
In the coming year, we will be honoring our first century in a series of Salon programs focused on Literature, Music and Poetry of the time and culminating with a weekend Art Salon inviting the community to join us as we conclude our centennial year. Of course our 100th birthday will be celebrated with our annual Jinks on Founders’ Day and highlighted by the anticipated launch of our History Committee’s wonderful book of memories.
This club is very dear to me. Our history – or Herstory, if you like – is to be applauded and celebrated. Its future and its continued vitality is in our hands. As we enter our second hundred years, let us see ourselves as ‘History Going Forward’ and accept the challenge to sustain and expand the excellence of our past.
