Gradually, the members moved to other localities until only four, Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Messing and Mrs. Richards, were left here. However, their con tacts were kept and during the last seven years they have had annual meetings at various places, getting together as many of the members as possible. The first of these was held at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Bennett in Spring field April 13, 1948. The ladies had not expected it to be a world shaking event, but that was the day of the earthquake which made it a never-to-be forgotten day. Other meetings were held at Glenwood, Newberg, Brush Prai rie, Washington and Vernonia. Next year they will meet with Mrs. Stolen at West Fir. Notable is the fact that in the thirty years the club has existed, no member has been lost by death. This year, eight of the twelve were here for the meeting at the Richards home. The other four were kept away by illnesses in their families. i Nehalem chapter.
