Nov 9, 1920

The Woman’s Union met at the home of Mrs. Faulkner, 1176 Piedmont Ave.

The meeting was called to order by president Edwards after which the Lord’s Prayer was repeated and the first and third stanzas of “There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy” were sung.

On motion the resignation of Miss Eugene Estill as secretary of the Union because of absence from the city was accepted with regret.

A motion was carried that Mrs. Faulkner be elected to fill her unexpired term.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.

The treasurer reported a balance of $75.27 in the treasury.

In the absence of the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Keirn read a letter from Miss Caroline Atherton, secretary of the National Alliance asking that the Annual report of the Union be sent to the headquarters at Boston. The recording secretary was asked to forward her report.

A discussion followed as to amount of dues which should be sent to the Unitarian and Universalist national organizations, but the matter was deferred pending further investigation.

Mrs. Grey, recently from Columbus, Ohio was welcomed as a new member of the Union.

Plans for the annual supper were then perfected. In the absence of Mrs. Neill, Mrs. Greene was asked to bake beans for the supper and her contribution of $1.00 was returned. Mrs. Grey and Mrs. Stanford each contributed $1.00.

The members were urged to call upon new people in the church and urge them to join the Union.

After the inner woman had been satisfied, the ladies returned to the living room and returned to an illuminating lecture on “The Japanese Arrangement of Flowers” by Mrs. Keirn (Archivist Note: Rev. Keirn had previously served in the Universalist mission in Japan).

The members present were Mesdames Fisher, Rick, Keirn, Douglas, Hollingsworth, Draper, Stanford, Lotspeich, May, Pine, Perry, Rasnake, Grey, Greene, Edwards, Toepel, Hiatt, Gertner and Faulkner. Two visitors Mrs. W.E. Faulkner and Mrs. L. B. Daniel were also present.
