East Camden Club Plans Summer Events Three social events have gone down on the Summer calendar of East Camden clubwomen. They include a rose tea party, an outing to Ocean City and a pilgrimage to historical points of interest in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. Plans for the three affairs were made at the closing meeting of the club held on Monday evening at the clubhouse, 33 North Thirtieth street. The tea party will be held on June 22 at the home of Mrs. Anna Scott, 26 Leonard avenue. It will start at two o'clock. The outing has been scheduled for July 13, and will be held at the Summer residence of Miss Dorothy Morris. No date has been set for the pilgrimage as yet, but will be announced in the near future by the chairman of literature, Mrs. Theodore Warner. The executive board of the club was in charge of the program presented following Monday evening's meeting. Mrs. Robert Pinner, president of the club, presided and gave a brief history of the organization which was started on April 25, 1921. Stereopticon views of historical spots in the city, state and county were shown by Miss Julia Asay. Mrs. Pinner discussed the pictures as they were shown. Mrs. Charles Johnson was hostess chairman for the evening.
