Administrative history
The Dimsdale Women's Community Circle was formed in 1943. Each meeting started with the singing of "O Canada" and the repeating of their creed which commited them to not be selfish, or prejudiced, or petty but to be kind and "...to touch and know the great common woman's heart of us all..." They also played a regular game called "Your it" at their meetings. The club was a community support group and made articles for ditty bags and Christmas boxes for the war effort, and donated to the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, music festivals, victims of fires or other tragedies, and school children's Christmas treats. They also raised money through making quilts to raffle, and putting on pie socials, box socials, teas, bazaars, and fowl suppers.
