Since many Navy wives in the Key West area fail to join the club, it is thought that the following article will serve to arouse your interest. Why A Navy Wives’ Club? Shipmates: Did you know there is a won- derful organization called the Navy Wives Clubs of America? In the early thirties a group of women got together and formed a club, others in nearby cities did the same, for the sole purpose of entertainment, and to help the Na- vy wife over the lonely hours when her sailor boy was away. A few of the original members decided “why not charter and have a Na- tional Navy Wives Club,” which they did in 1936, Believe me, it has mushroomed in the years and is now a very strong organization. Here are some of the reason why your wives should join a local gtoup. 1. When your families are trans- ferred and arrive in a strange town, and are lonesome, have v....- dren, and have to find a good school for them and somewhere to live, who can understand their pro- blems better than another Navy wife? . 2. We are organized to promote welfare, social and educational Pro- grams for the Navy wife and her family. 3. Clubs can be found in nearly every town where Navy is found. We even have clubs in outlying countires such as Alaska, Honolu- lu, French Morocco, Puerto Rico, and Caviti, P. 1.. 4. You ask, “who can join this organization?” Wives of enlisted men of the Navy, Marines Corps, and Coast Guard, and Reserve Units of these services. Wive* of enlisted men honorably discharged, retired or transferrea mw .-.--.| Reserve, widows of enlisted men honorably discharged. 5. A Scholarship Fund was re- cently instituted and the Articles of Incorporation accepted at our last Convention, October 1953, held in San Diego, California. Chaplain Thornton C. Miller is the Director of this Foundation. The first award will be made in April 1954 to a son or daughter of enlisted personnel of the Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, who has successfully j passed college entrance, and is in need of financial assistance, etc., | to complete and further his or her | Mrs. Thurston To Say Vows The marriage of Mrs. Theodora Matthews Thurston and Willie Fred Ward will take place Sunday, June 20, at 11:00 a. m. at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Mrs. Thursday has asked Ernes- tine Curry to be her matron of honor and Alpheus Dean will be best man for Ward. Rev. Everette, pastor of the church, will perform the cere- mony. Mrs. Thurston, a graduate of Douglass High School, is organist for Bethel Church. She is also : beautician and is employed at “Marguerite’s House of Glamour.” She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Matthews, 306 Ame- lia Street. Mr. Ward, son of Mrs. Lulu Ward, Abberville, Alabama, is.em- ployed by The Key West Citizen as a stes€otyper. A reception honoring the couple will be held at 306 Amelia Street. No formal invitations have been issued. All cordial friends of the couple are asked to attend. ROBERT EVANS IS ILL}; Robert Evans, 726 Windsor Lane, a leading citizen of Key West, con- tinues to be ill. He is a patient of the Naval Hospital. education. So men, why not take this ar- ticle home and show it to your wife and talk it over with her? I am sure she will be happy to find her nearest club. Contact your Chamber of Commerce or write to our Vice President, Helen Friend, Elden Park, Route 6, Box 229D, Portsmouth, Ohio, who will be only too happy to help you. And men, remember we are a women’s or- ganization but everything we do is with you mind. We plan many so- cial acitivites in which you can participate and meet your old friends and buddies.
