History

The Dora Friendly Club is a rural community "ladies club", which began over 80 years ago at a time when each little valley and settlement had a similar club. Our club has managed to survive in spite of a geographical shift, a paved road and television.


The Dora Friendly Club had its first meeting on January 20, 1932.  Charter members were: Georgia Bunch, Macie Crumley, Grace Durnam, M.E. Durnam, Mollie Fay, Dora Gearhart, Laura Minard, Wilma Bunch Shepherd and Angie Yokum (also spelled Yoakam). The name "Friendly Club" was suggested by M.E. Durnam. Women gathered for all day meetings, as most of them walked to the meeting places.  The first By-laws stipulated that the members would gather to help the hostess with whatever chores she chose, whether it be canning, quilting or cleaning.  One of the first meetings was at the home of Wilma Shepherd; the task was carding wool.  The Club set geographical limits; to be eligible for membership women had to live on or between the Marcy farm (Koski's) and the Bennett farm (old Kasper place).  At that time, the center of Dora was located near the Minard Riffle (Alberta Lynn=s home), and Gravelford and Sitkum each had its own ladies' club. A recent update of the Constitution has expanded this area. See Note1 below.


Over the years the Dora Friendly Club has taken on many projects which are vital to the continuance of Dora as a community.  The Club sponsors some traditional activities which were started by the East Fork Sportsmen's Club and the Dora-Sitkum P.T.A., as neither of those groups is still in existence.  Some of the activities include an annual scholarship for a local student, the Fishermen's Breakfast in May, an annual Corn Feed in September, and the community Christmas program.  The Club has also provided quilts for families who have lost their homes in fires, scholarships to 4-H camp, food for those in need, and friendship and prepared food for bereaved neighbors. 


Note 1:  The club recently updated our Constitution to allow membership to women living in the Dora-Sitkum fire district or the unincorporated area of Coos County within zip code 97458. They also now allow for women living outside of this area to join as "Supporters". Both members and Supporters have the same benefits except only Members may vote on changes to the Constitution or Bylaws.

We are now taking orders for the 11th annual Pizza Sale  for Superbowl.


We are so grateful to all of you  who purchased pizzas and to all of our helpers. 


Fishermans' Breakfast was well attended this year. All proceeds were donated to the Dora-Sitkum Fire Department to aid in the project of asbestos removal and repair of the back wall of the Center.


Call Laura Rose, our Fundraising Chair at 541-572-5201 for more information on how you can help next year.


If you are interested in joining our group, feel free to attend one of our meetings or contact us for information. 

Meetings are held at the Dora Center with refreshments at 1:00 and the business meeting begins at 1:30.
