The National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union (WCTU) was founded in 1874. The voice of women needed
to be heard in order to protect them and their children. The
crusade against alcohol was, in part, a protest by women, because
of their lack of civil rights. |
President - Mrs. George Van AlstynePrevious to the organization of this Union the meeting was addressed by Miss Greenwood of Brooklyn, Mrs. Decker of Victor, president of the county Union, and Mrs. Dr. Foster, of Clifton Springs. The next meeting of the Canandaigua Union will be held at the Baptist Church next Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Decker and Mrs. Foster will be present.
