IRON MOUNTAIN — The April luncheon meeting of the Iron Mountain-Kingsford General Federation of Women’s Clubs had a very entertaining program. President Gail Galotta wrote “We Are the Iron Mountain/Kingsford Women’s Club,” which is a skit highlighting social and historical events in the Iron Mountain/Kingsford Women’s Club from 1915 to 1987.

Seven woman portrayed fictional club members from various decades that cover two World Wars, the Great Depression and the changing role of women.

The experiences range from bathing poor children at the Chapin Dry in 1915 to receiving Anne Landers as a guest in 1962. But the underlying theme they share are the contributions that the club made to benefit the community.

At the conclusion, each woman states what the club meant to her and together they proudly proclaimed, “We are the members of the Iron Mountain-Kingsford Women’s Club.”
