The Sierra Madre Woman's Club begins its 107th club year
activities by enjoying the beautiful music of Alena Devaughn,
violinist, at their Fall Membership Blue and Gold Tea, Wednesday,
September 25 at 1 pm in their historic 1914 Essick House in Sierra
Madre at 550 West Sierra Madre Blvd.
Alena, the daughter of Robert DeVaughn, opera singer and Pastor
Connie Larson DeVaughn, minister at the Altadena Baptist Church,
is also the niece of Alteouise DeVaughn, another noted opera
singer.
Those interested in exploring what the Sierra Madre Woman's Club
has to offer those (mostly women "of a certain age") with somewhat
flexible daytime hours, are invited to reserve their space for
this much anticipated program, followed by tea and social time, by
calling 626-355-3928 by Monday, September 23.
The Sierra Madre Woman's Club is a member of the International
General Federation of Women's Clubs (gfwc.org) headquartered in
Washington, D.C. since 1890. Also a member of the California
Federation of Women's Clubs (cfwc.org), Sierra Madre is the third
largest of the 26 federated clubs in the CFWC San Gabriel Valley

Diversity". In California, club members are "the Key" to
community support and improvement, with activities involved with
Arts and Culture, Conservation, Education, Health Home and
Lifestyle, Public Affairs and international foci.
The Sierra Madre Woman's Club has, as its primary fundraiser, the
