Meetings are on the second Tuesday of each month 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM in the McAllaster Room at the Bedford Public Library. Members meet in June to recommend titles and volunteer to moderate the discussions. Meg Cronin, Prof. of English and Dir. of College Writing at St. Anselm College, usually leads one of our spring discussions. The librarians arrange to borrow multiple copies of each month’s title so they are available at the Reference Desk at no cost. If you want to read a book but don’t plan on actually attending the discussion, please refrain from taking out a library copy during the assigned month so as not to prevent another participant from getting a copy.

THE BEDFORD WOMEN’S CLUB HISTORY

1905 - 2024

The year 1905 was iconic in the history of New Hampshire and Bedford. The Russo-Japanese Peace Agreement was signed in Portsmouth, Mark Twain was summering in Dublin (NH), everyone was reading Edith Warton’s controversial new book, The House of Mirth, and under the leadership of Mrs. Gordon Woodbury, the women of Bedford formed the Child Study Circle.

The ﬁrst meeting of the Child Study Circle was held in the “little green house” where tea and coﬀee were made over a wood burning cooking stove. Ladies brought freshly made tea sandwiches and pastries to enjoy while organizing their worthwhile endeavor. Their goal was to “raise the standard of home life, to study the means for best developing the physical, intellectual, and spiritual nature of the child. In 1926, to broaden the scope of interest, the group became the Home Study Club.

During World Wars I and II this same group of women aided in the war eﬀort by working for Bedford’s Red Cross. In addition, with war induced shortages, they taught women about nutritional values and safety measures in conserving food. For many years the BWC ladies participated in the Well Child Clinic which provided immunization shots for the local children.

In the early 40’s they formed the first scholarship committee. The financing of this fund came from selling homemade baked goods and needlework at the Unity Club Fair. It was an extraordinary day when they presented their first $25 scholarship. How wonderful that the original award has

grown into the Josephine A. Fearon scholarships and charitable donations of over $26,000 this past season!

In the 50’s and 60’s the members hosted many Smorgasbord dinners, Fashion shows and Gala Dances for fun and fundraising. In the mid 1990’s Club members provided ﬁnancial security by compiling, publishing and successfully selling Tasteful Treasures, a hardbound cookbook featuring members' own recipes.

Present day fundraisers such as our Time & Talent Auction, Whale of a Sale, Holly Luncheon Silent Auction and monthly non-cash charitable donations continue to give our membership the opportunity to serve and support the local community.

Recently, while responding to the COVID 19 pandemic and its restrictions, we began to utilize social media and technology in new ways. The Bedford Women’s Club has its own website, www.BedfordwomensClub.org, a presence on Facebook (ask to join!) and we have adapted to meetings held over Zoom. As we anticipate a full season of interesting programs, we realize the success of our club can be attributed to the many members and leaders who oﬀer their time, talents and energy not only for the continuation of this long-standing organization but for the beneﬁt of our Bedford community.
