THE EBELL CLUB OF ANAHEIM
HomeThe Ebell Club of Anaheim, was organized on November 3, 1907, when Mrs. Harry Dyer and nine other women met at the H. A. Johnson home on East Broadway and formed a society to promote cultural education among women. Their motto, Live as if you would die tomorrow; Learn as if you would live forever, is the one we use today, more than 100 years later.
The Ebell Club of Anaheim, a non-profit organization, seeks to advance all forms of culture and promote the best interests of the community. Our Ebell Club is affiliated with the Orange District in Area D of the California Federation of Women's Clubs, and the General Federation of Women's Clubs International, the largest group of women volunteers in the world.
General Meetings
The Ebell Club of Anaheim meets regularly on the first Monday (excluding holidays) of each month from September to June for a luncheon, business meeting, progress reports on community projects, and entertaining or educational programs.
Fund Raising
Fund raising is an important part of our Club. Members enjoy our special events by working, planning, and participating in functions such as a Spring fashion show, Christmas boutique, casino and theater trips, regular bingo party luncheons, and dime bingo party luncheons.
Sections
To meet the needs and diversity of members' interests, Ebell organizes various small groups that meet at selected times for learning and fellowship. Over the years, as the interests of the membership change, so will the Sections. We currently plan to offer bridge (contract and duplicate), hand and foot canasta, creative sewing, and crafts.
Activities
We also encourage members to join in club activities, such as our making and filling Christmas stockings for military personnel stationed overseas, staffing a booth and furnishing a child's craft project for both the Anaheim Hallowe'en Festival and the Anaheim Children's Spring Festival, and helping with the Christmas Salvation Army Clothe the Children project. Additional cultural and civic events supported by our members include the topics arts, conservation, education, home life, international outreach, public issues, leadership, legislation, literature, history, and spiritual values.
Club Goals
Awarding scholarships to Anaheim Union High School District seniors for continuing education in the arts.
Serving the needs of our friends and neighbors in the community of Anaheim.
