HISTORY

Woman’s Club of Cullom was organized in September 1954. The Saunemin Woman’s Club was our sponsor. Our first president was Grace Ginter (1954-1956) and at that time there were 61 members. There have been 29 presidents over the past 56 years. We celebrated our 50th Anniversary in November of 2004 with State President Martha Bein as our guest along with several Past Club Presidents and three members of our sponsoring club. Two of our Charter members, Farol Jean Haag and Natalie (Nat) Koehler, are still dues paying members. We are a small club with 14 members at present. We use the Hot Air Balloon as our logo since Cullom is known for holding the record for the longest Hot Air Balloon ascensions at their Annual Cullom Homecoming celebration and Junior Fair in August. We adopted “GFWC IL” in our name in 2005.
