The Washington Fortnightly Club is a women?s organization that has been in Washington since November 1896.

Washington County History, and Early Childhood Development.

The organizational meeting for ?Washington County History? will be at 2 p.m., Tuesday, June 10, at the Washington Public Library Genealogy Room.

The organizational meeting for ?Early Childhood Development? will be at 7 p.m., Thursday, June 12, at the Washington Public Library State Bank Room. Are you a young mom who has questions that seem to accompany child rearing? Do you feel you are the only one dealing with certain issues? When you purchased your car, you received an owners manual. However, when you brought your baby home from the hospital, you were on your own. Bring your questions, ideas, suggestions and input to this meeting. Please feel free to call June Asper at 319-863-7041 if you have any questions.
