Biographical Note
The University Area Women of Rotary was organized in
1948. The active membership consisted of the
wives of the members of the University Rotary Club, Houston, Texas. The
organization engaged in two major philanthropic projects, a nursing scholarship
endowment fund and donations to the Houston Area Women's Center. The group's
social activities included parties, teas, luncheons and fundraising events.
Because of a drop in membership, the organization disbanded effective as of
September 1, 1990. The members were then
invited to join with the Women of Rotary of Houston District 589.
Scope and Contents
This collection contains the working records of the organization. Most
of the material is from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and there is some material
dating back to the 1950s.
Arrangement
This collection is divided into four subgroups. The first subgroup
consists of information related to the organizational structure. The second
subgroup deals with each individual officer and her duties and activities. The
records of the treasurer and secretary make up the largest portion of this
subgroup. The third subgroup is divided by committees in alphabetical order.
The project committee has information on the Houston Area Women's Center and
the Nursing Students Scholarship Fund. The fourth and final subgroup contains
yearbooks from 1978-1990. The yearbooks are a good source for a general
overview of the organization and contain a copy of the constitution. The
divisions within the subgroups reflect the original order of the records.
