Records of the Catholic Women's Club of Green Bay, Wisconsin, which was founded in 1900 as a social and study club, later becoming involved in charitable activities and fundraising. The records consist of constitutions, bylaws, and subsequent amendments; files of the club's presidents; and financial records. Also included are news clippings and six scrapbooks, and other historical materials such as members' oral histories. Members founded the Green Bay Day Nursery in 1919, which later was managed by the United Way and ultimately became Encompass Child Care, and established the Welfare Committee, which facilitated donations to various charities, such as St. Anthony's School for the Menomonee in Neopit and Green Bay-area Catholic high school scholarships. Other community service projects included donations for the bells at the UW-Green Bay Ecumenical Center; the Bark Chapel at Heritage Hill; and Holy Name Retreat House. The club worked actively with other religious clubs and clergy. Also included are photographs of members, the Bark Chapel at Heritage Hill, and the clubhouse on Walnut Street. English
