Scope and Contents

An excerpt form this newspaper clipping reads as follows:

Not "pie in the sky" but the real homemade variety was on the menu yesterday when members of the Golden Agers' group at Hallie Q. Brown Community Center got together for their annual Thanksgiving dinner.

The dinner, a greatly anticipated affair for club members and their invited guests--took place at 12 noon in the auditorium of the Center, followed by an interesting program appropriate to the occasion.

An intergrated group, the Golden Agers are not only the oldest senior citizens' group in the Twin Cities, but in the whole state of Minnesota. Organized in 1939, they're now in their 28th year under what their former president terms the 'capable' direction of Mrs. John (Idelle) Patton and a staff of Center officers. [...] New president who helped plan the affair this year is Mrs. Pearl Smith of 467 Aurora.
