the J.U.G. Club

The Just Us Girls Club of Amarillo first organized in the fall of 1900, when few, if any, women’s clubs existed at all. By 1902, these learned women started a library as a civic project which ended up becoming the Amarillo Public Library. This photo was taken in September 1977 in the home of Helen Lutz.
