Vintage, Women of the Moose, Academy of Friendship, Cookbook, Clarkston WA, WOTM

Description

Lewis-Clark Chapter # 135, Clarkston, WA
The WOTM originated as the Women of Mooseheart Legion in 1913. In the early years the group had little structure above the Chapter level. In 1926, Katherine Smith, the Director of Public Employment in the Department of Labor under Davis, was appointed the first "Grand Chancellor" of the Women of the Moose. Under her direction the WOM grew to 250,000 members by the time of her retirement in 1964.
Local units are called "Chapters". Officials on the state level are given "Grand" designations and on the national level "Supreme" designations, ergo, "Supreme Secretary", "Grand Secretary" etc. In 1979 there were 1,824 Chapters. Currently there are approximately 1,600 chapters in all 50 states and four Canadian provinces.
The WOTM works four degrees. The first is the Co-Worker, and is considered necessary to be considered a full member. The other three are Academy of Friendship, College of Regents, and Star Recorder, and are based on merit. On formal occasions members wear Geneva gowns, reminiscent of those worn at college graduations and church choirs. Officers wear different colored stoles.
Inscribed "To Sheila & Lynn, From Grandmother Butts" on inside cover with date.
