- Description:
- These papers relate to the growth of LaGrange as evidenced by a local civic organization. From cooperation with the WPA (Works Progress Administration) in the 1930s, through its eightieth anniversary celebration in 2003, these papers reveal the history of the club and its interaction with the local community. The records date from 1923. Periodic additions keep the collection current. These papers consist mainly of club records in the form of minutes, committee reports, membership lists, newsletters, correspondence, scrapbooks and news clippings. Membership files include biographical data on some of LaGrange's most prominent citizens 1928-1960. An index to members' biographies is included in the container list. The collection also includes newspaper clippings, photographs, and club memorabilia. The collection is divided into five series: Club Records, Rotary Club Publications, Scrapbooks, Photographs, and Miscellaneous. Committee reports and minutes of director's meetings are especially informative about the club's concerns, objectives, and activities. The newsletters afford a detailed look at the activities of the club and its members.
