ACTIVITIES FOR WOMEN

 

Games:

It is our desire to provide opportuni-
ties for participation in a broad and com-
prehensive program of activities for the
preschool child as well as the adult. We
offer highly organized games of the team
type, including court as well as field ..
games. We also provide games of the high
organized type which are played by indiv-
iduals or couples, Then we have the low
organized games commonly found in the com-
munity center program for all age groups.
These may be quict, semi-active or active
eames, We have followed the best accepted
standard for sports for women as advanced
by this Asscciation and others,

Musics

 

Women are participating in orchestras,
bands, choirs, ensembles, community sing-
ing and other activities for the skill im-
provement as well as the great social
values that come from the expression or ap-=
preciation of music in its many forms in
social groups.

Drama:

There is participaticn in plays, skits
and other dramatic activities which pro-
vide opportunities for playing the part or
role, dramatizing one's self,'or portraying
life situations for creative and apprecia=
tive oxpression. Puppetry, marionette work,
community pageants, festivals and outdoor
theater work are stressed in every program
for women. ~

Crafts:

We have stressed the promotion of
crafts activities for the opportunity to
develop new skills of the hands which have
been lost due to the machine age. Women
senorally tend to make things which are
useful in the home,

Social Activities and Clubs;

 

Women like to come together in groups
for social comradeship, neighborliness,

good fellowship, which builds for community _

solidarity. We are stressing a girls' pro-
eran at the present time because of the

many nocds of our younger girls of the club
age, due to home and community conditions. |

Explorative Activities: ;

We want to provide opportunities
for participation in activities which
satisfy the innate curiosity on an in-
tellectual level through camping, nature
study, explorations in the field of
science and travel. This is done through
hiking, nature study and hobby groups.
