PACIFIC COAST WOMEN'S PRESS ASSOCIATION
Mrs. Ina B. WESTON, President

Organized 1890
Federated 1916
Meets second and fourth Mondays


The thirteenth year of the Pacific Coast Women's Press Association just closed has been a season of pleasure and profit to its membership.

Banded together, originally, for the superior power cooperation insures, the Association was composed strictly of women of the Pacific Coast engaged professionally in literary work.

The everwidening field of the writer's legitimate labors calls imperatively for more and better equipped workers. Realizing this demand and opportunity, the members of the P. C. W. P. A. have been busy with brain and pen during the past few months - which, in a way, has been a period of readjustment for us all.

The quality of work submitted for discussion and friendly criticism has been promising. Two members have published books during the year. One attractive booklet, containing a collection of verses, and an Easter Convocation, written and published in an artistic folder and sold for
the benefit of the Association at one of its functions, make up the report of published work, outside of the short story, newspaper and editorial work done regularly by members, and complete a record with which we are well pleased.

On the second Monday of each month programs of literary and musical character have been given, as usual, for the pleasure of members and guests. Much of the talent for these entertainments has been supplied from the membership. The social gatherings have been especially well attended and the membership augmented by the addition of names well and favorably known in literary circles.

The Club's participation in Federation activities is necessarily limited, but it stands ever ready to further the advance of the Literary Section of the City and County Federation of Women's Clubs.

One illustration of cooperation in work other than literary was the service of Mrs. L. D. PFEIFFER, captain, and her team, in the recent Salvation Army drive, which collected $1,62.50 for the cause.
