Woman's Club of Albuquerque.

The Woman's Club of Albuquerque was founded in 1903 and joined the national organization, General Federation of Women's Clubs in 1904. The national organization was created "to provide communication with other women's clubs throughout the world so they could compare methods and become mutually helpful." The club women turned from "education for self to education for service" with emphasis on civic projects such as safe play grounds, smaller public school class sizes, and improved sanitation and living conditions in the cities. The Club was divided into various departments or subjects of study such as Literature, Domestic Science, Travel, Civics, Art, Current Events, Child Welfare, etc. In 1978 some of these departments such as writers group and garden group disbanded. The objective of the Woman's Club of Albuquerque is "to promote sympathy and united effort for the broadening of humanity and the elevation of society." In July 1920 the Club began and supported the Albuquerque Day Nursery for the children of working mothers and single fathers. Other charities supported by the Club include the Salvation Army, Girls' Ranch of New Mexico, Carrie Tingley Hospital for Crippled Children, Hugh O'Brian Youth Foundation (HOBY) and Roadrunner Food Bank. The Club buys books for schools, and supports various scholarships, including a scholarship for a female medical student.
