American Business Women's Association "Potpourri Chapter" (Bowling Green, Ohio) records
Collection
Identifier: MS-0590
Collection Organization
The collection of the Bowling Green, Ohio, "Potpourri Chapter" of the American Business Women's Association contains records from 1973 to 2000. The collection consists of procedure manuals, chapter bylaws, membership documents, minutes, conference material, committee material, scholarship information, financial reports, scrapbooks and newspaper clippings, newsletters, and photographs.
The minutes of the monthly meetings contain the most specific information about the chapter's activities, projects, and policies. These minutes are nearly complete for the time span of the chapter. Another valuable source for information is the monthly newsletter, The Kaleidoscope. The newsletter often contained a calendar of events, a review of the preceding meeting, and agendas for upcoming meetings. Issues are nearly complete between the years 1973 to 2000. Clippings from various local newspapers from 1973 to 2000 reflect the chapter's active role in community affairs as do the numerous scrapbooks and photograph collections. Other fairly complete series in the collection are membership and committee lists, and lists of scholarship recipients.
