Context

Waseca Monday Study Club was a member of this international women's club for most of its first 100 years. This pin was part of a national promotion by President Bill Clinton, promoting literacy among school children. The Waseca Monday Study Club raised over $3,000 to install a reading room at Hartley Elementary; bean bag chairs, a table, globe, bookshelves and many books were purchased by the club. Waseca Monday Study Club voted to leave the federation in 2003.
