Scope and content
On October 15, 1940, the Ladies' Musical Club held a Golden Jubilee Celebration concert and tea at the Weyerhaeuser Hall at the YWCA. The concert was a reproduction of the first program of the club held on October 28, 1890 in the home of Mrs. C.J. Kershaw. The following tea was served on fifty year old settings and members were requested to dress in Gay Nineties style. Current members plus over 20 charter members attended. The Club was the first music association of its type to form west of Chicago. The first roster of the club represented all of the first families of church, civic, industrial, commercial and financial leaders. Through the years, the organization has brought talented performers to Tacoma and has helped to develop local young musicians. (T.Times 10/4/1940, pg. 3)
