Editor Ketchikan Progressive-Miner,
Ketchikan, Alaska,
Dear sir:—
Upon suggestion from Mrs. William
P. Harper, a Director of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs,-' 1 am
herewith sending you an open lettei
and a constitution and By-Laws for
the purpose of organizing a Terri
torisil Federation of Women's Clubs
Would you please turn these papers
over to your local Women's Club, or
to any woman whom you think will
be interested in forming a Woman's
i Club in your city.
Thanking you for this courtesy, 1
am very truly yours.
MBS. THOS. V. CONNOR.
Pres., Douglas island Woman's Clubs.
To The Women’s Clubs of Alaska
Acting upon suggestion from Mrs.
William l’. Harper of Seattle, a Diree
tor of the General Federation oi
Women's Clubs, I am writing your
club with the idea of taking immed
iate steps to form a Territorial Fer
eration, even if we are unable to meet
in convention for the present. Airs. I
Harper is of the opinion that we
could form a Territorial Federation by
correspondence so that alt of us may
receive benefit therefrom.
Enclosed find herewith a set "of
rules to govern our temporary work.
These articles were based upon sim
ilar ones of the Washington State
Federation and our own local By-laws.
Additions or amendments can be made
when oor organization is permanent
ly effected.
If it is possible to hold a conven
tion. the Douglas Island Woman’s
Club stands ready to welcome the t
club delegates and would do its ut
most to make the convention a suc
cess.
However, on account of the coming
winter, it might be well if we get
together by correspondence and ex
change our various papers, studies anil j
club programs, with the expectation of !
a Territorial Convention in the spring.
I will gladly offer my services for
the present to receive and forward
any of these papers or materials!
which are available. It might be n ;
beginning for a sort of Bureau of Tn
f i - r mat ion for the Territorial Feder
atiou.
The Douglas Island Woman’s Club
has the following material on hand
fmri former programs: History of
Alaska, Alaskan Birds, Agricultural
