Round Hill Woman's Club (Round Hill, Va.)
Biographical notes:
On 8 July 1946 ten women met at the home of Mrs. J.S. (Bertha Baber) Patterson (3 June 1894-22 November 1949) to form the Round Hill Woman's Club. Patterson was elected as the club's first president. There were twelve charter members of the club whose purposes were to meet for fellowship, share programs, and discuss community concerns with the intention of determining what could be done for the town of Round Hill, Va., especially in the areas of education, safety, and welfare of its children. The club was very active in supporting religious education in schools, providing clothing for needy children, supporting music and art education, and providing playground equipment. Later club activities included programs in self improvement, contributing to community service organizations, and supporting social life in the community.
