But how are you attracting younger people?

They're learning about it through some of these other social events, I would imagine.

- Well, I think what's interesting is that we're about the only club in the area that you can belong to ages 12 and up.

So it is a club that you can be a granddaughter, and a mother, and a grandmother and all come together at the same time.

Our board has been made up of quite a few people under 30, which has been fantastic.

- [Christine] Right.

- And that variety of ages gives us the opportunity to offer all kinds of programs when it comes to education.

You know, the sky's the limit.

For a long time, actually, Anne used to run our evening department and that was started way back in the 1800's for working women and for mothers with children.

But that has often been a program time for us to allow women under 40, in particular, to participate.

Because the irony of today's women's clubs is that we're a victim of our own success.

- [Christine] Exactly.

- Right?

- Women can go to work, they can own businesses, they can do all the things that those clubs were initially established to fight for.

And so setting up various times throughout the week and throughout the time of the day also makes opportunities for programming that meets the needs of all women of Peoria.
