The Cedars
June 9, 1923,
798th Meeting.

On June 9, 1923, the Mutual Improvement Association met at "The Cedars" the
beautiful home of Amy and Elise Hutton.

Those who were brave enough to travel over muddy roads, defying thunder, lightning
and rain were amply repaid by the hospitality of our hostesses, the interest
of the meeting and the excellence of the supper provided.

Visitors were Catherine Hutton Adams and Evie Jones.

India Downey presided and Margaret Jones acted as secretary.

The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, and the minutes of the
last meeting at this place were read for information.

India Downey asked that all members do their share in canning for the Club Exhibit
at the Rockville Fair so we can win the premium if possible. She also asked that
those having clear jars which they were not going to use themselves will please return
them to her.

Rebecca Miller read Mary Tilton's report on Social Service.

Elise Hutton, one of our delegates to the Annual Meeting of the Montgomery
County Federation of Women's Clubs at Washington Grove, gave a very full report of
the day's proceedings - noting particularly the address of Mr. Libbey in which he
urged the women to support the movement to Prevent War.

The resolutions passed at the Annual Meeting of the Maryland Federation of
Women's Clubs were read, but no action was taken.

A letter from the Sherwood Home and School Association was read asking this organization
to appoint a representative to act in conjunction with representatives
from the other organizations in the Community "to study the needs of the community
and to recommend plans to meet these needs." Margaret Jones was appointed.

The next meeting place will be "Brooke Meadow" - Sallie Janney's.

Sentiment of the Hostess: -
"For life with all it yields of joy and woe,
And hope and fear (believe this aged friend)
Is just our chance to the prize of learning love
How love might be, hath been, indeed, and is.
Browning.

Elise Hutton read an article on "Radio" proving that while its powers are unlimited
there are apt to be many disappointments in store.

Rebecca Miller's article told of a "Neighbor's League" in Elizabeth, New Jersey,
where 5,000 members act as neighbors to each other, an example which might be
followed in many other communities.
