Women's Club Presidenf
Delivers Personal Address
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
An address to the Hood Canal
Woman's Club by Vera ort-
sleeves May ltl, 1968 meeting.
In a weak moment las year
I agreed to be on the program
for this meeting and immediately
'forgot it. Here it is May and
my turn. I'm suppostd to talk
about Leadership Development.
That is a ponderous subject and
I don't feel qualified to do it
properly - I would like to call
it "Woman's World."
I can remember when R was
a Man's World. He was head of
the household. He was the wage
earner. He made the decisions.
He was our Lord and Master.
He wore the pants. Now it is a
Woman's World. Since equality
became a fashionable word, wo-
men have invaded the men's
world. We have become wage
earners.
We have entered all of the pro-
fessions. We make most of the
decisions. We wear the pants -
Oh yes, just look aromd you
on the streets and in the stores.
We can even stand up to the
bars and drink with them and
listen to off-color jokes and four
letter words. The only place I
know that we haven't invaded
is the men's John - but give us
tlme! Are we loslng our femin-
inity? Are we losing their re-
spect? Do we really want to be
equal? Have we got Tiger by
the Tail?
Don't get me wrong. I admire
these young fathers who share
the household chores and care
for the children, and when
Mama gets home late from work,
can get dinner started. That didn't
happen in my day - since auto-
matic washers, dryers, dish wash-
ers and drip dry clothes, house-
keeping takes less of Mama's
time and she is free to have a
career of her own.. But lets not
forget we are women,
Men like to feel protective and
are sensitive of their maleness.
They like to feel they are the
stronger sex. Yes, and they like
to be mothered a bit. I don't
think we have to be a clinging
vine. Most husbands are proud
of their wives' accomplishments,
but they don't want to be taken
for gTanted, nor ignored. Lets
face it, our first duty is to our
husbands and family.
Granted, most women would
or.efer being home and practic-
ing the wife and mother bit. But
when it comes to educating our
bhfldren, one Income is not
enough in the average family.
We must not lose the Joys and
companionshlp of our home and
family.
As I have indicated, I have
strayed from my subject. I'll try
to blend it all together. Since
women have become leaders in
the home and community - so
also do they have a responsibility
in club affiliations. It is a .great
honor to be the president of a
Club like ours. And the rewards
and satisfactions of what we ac-
complish far surpass any mone-
tary reward,
Some women have natural
leadership qualities. But all wo-
men can develop leadership. Let's
not waste our talents. There is
not a woman here who would not
make a good president. Why do
we have to beg to get someone
to take it. 2Yue, many of us are
getting old and tired and some
have family responsibllltes that
prevent us from devoting time
to club work.
The Women who started
club 41 years ago were young
and vigorous and had great vi-
ion. They reached their goal
when this club house was built.
Now they are ready to pass on
the heritage they have left. We
have been very fortunate in our
leadership. Our club Is recog-
nized as an outstanding club In
the State and National Federa-
• tion. Look at the awards we have
.received the last two years - We
thank you Dolores (Drake).
We are living in a world of pro-
test and we protest the protestors.
Do you realize this has always
been so since the birth of our
nation? How about the Boston
Tea Party? Taxation without re-
presentation - how about the La-
bor Unions? The years of strife
which brought about labor re-
forms including safety standards-
health standards - and just earn-
ings. And how about Woman Suf-
ferage - How about that? Those
hardy ladies, (in those days they
were ladies) how they marched
and crusaded. Well we got the
vote. Are we using it properly?
That was the start of the Wo-
man's World. Ask any man - We
did not get it wthout a struggle.
Some of us can recall the cyc-
les of Woman's dress - the long
and voluminous clothes of the
early 1900's, the hobble skirts
and high button shoes of the 1910's
to '20's and the Flaming Youth -
the flappers - the short, short,
have nothing on
skirts were just as mini. And
our youth went to the dogs just
as fast then as now. Our dances
were Just as bizarre and some
of our songs were just as silly.
Remember the Charlston- The
Turkey Trot . The Big Apple -
Is it so different now? There
has always been youth revolt.
iNot so loud and vocal and of
course not so many of them.
Now let's talk about Leader-
ship. In the first place we should
honor and respect our offlcere.
We put them there. We should
learn to listen as wen as partici-
pate. We should be tolerant and
polite during meetings - even
when we become bored or do not
agree with what ts being said or
proposed - we should listen. We
can learn and listen to both sides
of the question. Moving around -
walking out and whispering and
talking are distracting and insult-
Ing to a president or speaker.
A good leader is also tolerant
and willing to listen. She must be
firm tn keeping the meeting un-
der control, and on the subject in
question. She asks and does not
demand. She supplies the stim-
ulus and motivation for the good
of the club. I think we should
have a rule that anyone need-
ing to leave early or leave the
room should rise and address the
chair asking permission to do
so. It seera to me it is the polite
thing to do. I probably have been
the Worst offender in that respect
and I'm sorry.
We are all human, subject to
human error - none of us ts per-
fect - but we can all learn. A
president is only as good as her
membership. Let us be coopera-
tive - Let us be kind and above
all, let us work for the good of
the Club.
Here is a little poem I came
across the other day called,
"How True" by an author un-
known:
I dreamed death came the other
night,
Heaven's gate swung wide;
With kindly grace an angel stood
and ushered me inside.
And there, to my sstonlshment,
Stood folks I'd known before -
Some I'd judged and labeled,
"Unfit for Heaven's Door."
Indignant words rose to my llIm,
But never were set free;
For every face showed stutmed
surprbe -
No one expet reel
