1972

Mary Tyson, a Book Fair and Scholarships

Members elected Mary Tyson president on January 26, 1972, and continued the films and the home library service. The Garden Club gave seventy garden books; Alice Erlandsen, Frances Young and Ann Marie Goodwin appeared in the newspaper photograph of the gift. In April the board deferred a planned book fair, extended the children's contest and sold its adding machine. In May it adopted a budget and counted 112 members. The eighth Libations benefit earned a profit of $355.33. The book fair took place September 24 and earned a profit of about $68. The newspaper printed winning work from the eighth junior writing and illustrating contest by Hillarie Keller and Diana Lea Mausser. On November 15 the board authorized a contribution to a county scholarship and prepared nominations for 1973.
