Tempe Woman's Club: Empowering Communities

BEGINNINGS

BEGINNINGS

BEGINNINGS

In December, 1912, a group of 14 ladies met at the Eighth Street and Mill Avenue Schoolhouse in Tempe, Arizona to form a Mother’s Club. There are no minutes from that meeting, but about a month later, on January 24, 1913, the club formally changed the name to Tempe Woman’s Club. Their first constitution and bylaws were drafted and the club motto was adopted, which is still in use today:


In Essentials, Unity


In Non-Essentials, Freedom


In All Things, Charity.

TODAY
