FOCUS: ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY NEWS : NEWPORT BEACH
Back in September 1960, the wife of a retired Corona del Mar doctor decided to form a women’s club that promoted friendliness and community involvement. Florine Roper called her club the Thursday Morning Club--for the day and time the women would meet.
Members met Thursday at the Balboa Bay Club to celebrate the club’s 39th birthday. The club, which has held monthly luncheons at the Bay Club for most of four decades, includes groups that focus on traveling, golfing, walking, stitchery and bridge. The club also raises funds for local charities such as Costa Mesa’s Share Our Selves and Women Helping Women.
The club is mainly for women living in Newport-Mesa, though anyone in Orange County can join.
