Capital City Federated Business and Professional Women's Club

The Capital City Federated Business and Professional Women's Club was organized June 15, 1964 in Austin, Texas to elevate the standards for women in business and in the professions and to promote the interests of business and professional women. The organization was a member of the International, National and State Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs. The Capital City Club separated from the Austin Federated Business and Professional Women's Club with the consent of the State Federation of Business and Professional Women's Club. Officers of the new club installed on June 29, 1964 were: Gene Barnett, president; Louise Polvogt, first vice-president; Janelle Slaughter, second vice-president; Mada Hester, corresponding secretary; Jean Lorenz, recording secretary; and Evelyn Schroeder, treasurer. Approximately thirty-two of the forty active members of the Austin club joined the Capital City club. They held their Charter Presentation dinner in August of the same year.
