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.

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.
