This collection contains records of the Church Women United of La Crosse, 1942-1985. Materials include the constitution, meeting minutes, correspondence, financial materials, and scrapbooks.
The Constitution is dated 1959, and includes proposed amendments for 1965. Minutes cover the period 1956 to 1975. Correspondence, including thank you notes as well as State Department correspondence, spans from 1958-1981. Financial Materials, 1942-1973, include treasurers' reports and a journal. Lastly, the Scrapbooks, 1952-1985, include a mixture of materials ranging from annual meeting minutes, to flyers, to glued in programs and correspondence. The scrapbooks are perhaps the best documentation of the organization's activities and concerns. Loose materials from the scrapbooks were grouped together into two folders labeled "scrapbook material (loose)."
The collection as a whole illustrates the activities and involvement of the group's members which are best chronicled in the council minutes and scrapbook materials.
