Sutter Creek – The Sutter Creek Woman’s Club marks “100 years of service to the community” with “old fashioned refreshments and ambiance of days gone by” Saturday in Sutter Creek. Guest speakers and state, county and city politicians will be represented to recognize the 100-year-old “improvement club.” The club was established in 1909 with the original purpose to improve the cemetery, schoolyard, streets and general beauty of the town. Over the years, the club expanded its purpose to include social, educational, civic and philanthropic endeavors in Amador County. The club marks its official 100th year in existence on Friday, September 18, 2009. Georgia Fox, former Amador Museum curator, is club historian and program chairwoman. Fox said Bob Richards, born and raised in Sutter Creek, “will be speaking and telling a few fun stories of Sutter Creek.” His mother, Helen Richards was a member of the Sutter Creek Woman’s Club for 28 years before she passed away. Fox said former Amador County Archivist Larry Cenotto will tell the history of Sutter Creek. There is a fashion show, and models wearing fashions from eras of 1910 to 2009. For Saturday, Fox made programs with photos of the 18 past club presidents, including current SCWC President Sue Henner. Also Saturday, the club will give achievement awards for the longest memberships. Fox said West Point resident Dorothy Burnett is in her 90s and has been in the club 35 years. Burnett, will get an achievement award, as will Eunice Haslam, a 31-year member. Other long time members are Helen Potter, a 29-year member, and Fox, who has been in the club 28 years. She said: “Other than that, they are almost all new people” – as in having joined in the last 10 years or so. Fox said the group now has 40 to 45 members and can have up to about 50, and is seeking new member. The Sutter Creek Woman’s Club “100 Years of Service to the Community” social is 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, September 19th at the Sutter Creek Community Building, 33 Church Street.
