Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Washington Township, Alameda County, California The Country Club, under whose auspices this history is pub lished, was the outcome of two political equality societies, one of Centreville and one of Niles. The first meeting of the Woman's Club of Washington Township, afterward re-named the Country Club, was held in December, 1897, at the home of Mrs. C. H. Allen, Centreville. At that time there were present twenty-five women from different parts of the township, who became charter members of the club then organized. At the present writing six of the seven villages in the township are represented, and there are a few members from outside districts. Believing that the history of this township would be valuable as a part of Alameda County and of the State, the women of the Country Club began this work early in May, 1903. Every active member contributed something to it, and the heads of the various committees compiled the material into papers, which were read at a Golden Jubilee meeting, held Mav 19th, in the Town Hall of. Centreville, to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the organi zation of the township. The past and the present, represented by the pioneers, their children and grandchildren, crowded the hall, which was tastefully decorated with great branches of golden mus tard blooms, California poppies, and. Wild oats in luxuriant pro fusion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
