Thank you

It is with sincere gratitude and appreciation that our Members and Executive Committee congratulate the Ladies Auxiliary on 93 years of dedicated service, generosity, friendship and loving support to the E.O.U.V. Club.

The organizers were: Pauline Primosch, Lena Petsche, Marie Koenig, Anna Weber, Marie Dulzer, Pauline Hutter and Maria Hirsch

A group of Ladies met on October 6, 1928 and founded the Ladies Auxiliary of the E.O.U.V. The purpose of this organization was to assist and arrange in holding of social and fraternal gatherings of its own, as well as in conjunction with the then Men’s Society. They were to help the men with their club functions.

The fee for admission at the time was $.25 and $1.00 for a yearly membership.

The Ladies of the Auxiliary were always ready and able to help out wherever they were needed, and this is still the case today. The Ladies saw many changes during the past 90 years of their existence, in the lodge as well as in the world. For one thing, the men’s lodge no longer is considered as a man’s lodge, but “The Lodge”. They now admit women in the organization.

The Ladies of the Auxiliary were talented; these talents were beneficial for setting up a lodge here in Cleveland. With all of their talents, they were able to help the men in their everyday work, to make the lodge more productive and visible. They were a group of quiet and upstanding citizens, they saw a need and they took care of it. Of course in the days past, the functions were not as elaborate as today; nevertheless they took care of all things as well as they could. And as we all know they did a wonderful job then and continue to do so at the present time.

We are proud to be associated with such a fine group of Ladies;
they are hard working and wise.
