"Friends and members of the Woman's club of Wilmette: "We have assembled for the purpose of participating in an honorable duty. "Ever since last October when the building committee began working on plans for the building to be erected on this spot, where we now stand, we were hoping that ground might be broken some time in April. We have reached our goal and are about to realize the dream that has been in the minds of our members for a number of yearsthat of havi11g a suitable auditorium mpro\'ements to meet the and other i_ requirements of our fast growing organization. "To say that this is a gala dar in the history of the Woman's club would be putting it mildly indeed, . for we are consumed with pride and joy over our accomplishment, marking another milestone in the march of progress. "The building of a Woman's club house was a comparatively new thing nineteen years ago when the present . building was erected, there being only one other Woman 's club house on the north shore at that time. The lot upon which our club house stands was a gift in n~emory of Mrs. Orrea Lansinghe by her daughter, Mrs. Blanche Freeman, one of our honorary life members. Without this gift our club house would not have been possible. "It is not my purpose at this time to enter into the past history of the \Voman's club, how they moved from one meeting place to another as the growth and nttds of the club demanded. You are familiar with all these things. It is an interesting story of their beginnings thirty-seven years ago, their disappointments, their per. severance and their successes, etc. "Th~re are some traits, however, that characterized this enterprise from the very beginning, which are well worthy of continued remembrance. "In founding their organization this. groJW of women with noble ideals sought not only to organize for self improvement but they had a strong desire to do for others, fQ.r their city and for their village and so we find this new club not only reading the classics together but furnishing and maintaining a room in a lodging house in Chicago, appointing a village improvement committee so that by united effort their ideals could be more effectively realized. Today with the regularly held programs, study cla§.ses, and numerous other interests, no department of the club has had a wider appeal than the philanthropy department and we are justly proud to say that this department does more philanthropic work than any other Woman's club in the state of Illinois, having on its list more th.an a dozen beneficiaries. The club gives away to charity 27 percent of its earnings annually. "Having been a member of the Woman's club of Wilmette for over thirty years, it has been my great privilege t9 note this march of progress .with exceeding interest. Seargent Smith Prentiss has said, 'The human mind cannot be contented with the present. It is ever journeying through the trodden regions of the past, or making adventurous excursions into the UlYSterious realms of the future. Men cannot live without a past. It is as essential to them as the future.' Jt is the future that is our special interest today and what this club is going to mean to its members and the whole community, because of its larger oppor.tunities for service. We are grateful for the ideals of our founders. Let us preserve these Ideals as we make our plans for the future. "The building which will rise on this spot will represent not only the fulfillment of a dream but the self sacrifices of many of our members.
