Mount Olive Friendship Circle (Rudolph, Ohio) records

The Mount Olive Friendship Circle collection consists of minute books, thank-you cards, a club history, news clippings, and a banner. The minute books date from January 1948 through December 1967. Included in the minutes are a record of the business meeting, charitable work completed and the lunch served. News of members and their families also appear in the minutes as well as financial reports. Most of the thank-you notes are not dated, but they do illustrate the members' concern and support for each other. A few news clippings and a club history dated 1960 provide more background about the Circle. A banner, probably sewn by members, completes this collection.

The records of this rural social and service club illustrate the friendships and activities of these women during the mid-twentieth century.
