Woman's Club Of El Paso - 1948
The Woman's Club of El Paso is located at 1400 North Mesa Street, El Paso, Texas. These women were determined to bring culture and the arts to this wild and wooly town. They were movers and shakers in the community, determined to improve educational opportunities, beautify the city, and bring the finer aspects of life to a border town. They established the first kindergarten in the public schools in Texas, they paid for the first PE teacher in the high school, and they worked diligently for the pure food laws, city sanitation, food inspections, weed eradication, and preservation of San Jacinto Plaza. They sponsored, installed and maintained soup kitchens in the schools during the Depression to feed undernourished children. During World War II they sold war bonds, housed the Red Cross and Surgical Dressing Unit, and loaned the clubhouse for all war bond rallies, free of charge. They held the first art show, first flower show and first fashion show in the city. http://wcoep.org/history/
