Cary Circle Club

Club Booklets for the Wellington, Kansas Community Club, Cary Circle

According to the December 14th, 1919 Wichita Eagle, the Cary Circle Club was organized in 1895 with the object of promoting an interest in educational, social and civic welfare, and during its existence this organization has fulfilled its object well, indeed. Meetings are held on alternate Tuesdays from October until May and aside from the regular programs the women have, in the past years assisted in furnishing the restroom and library in the City building – they have furnished a room in St. Luke’s hospital, and have paid into the new library a fund for binding magazines. It was through the efforts and financial aid of Cary Circle that Community Park was started, and this group of women also supports a French war orphan.
