The purpose of the Club is to join together women who reside in St. James Plantation with a desire to learn local history, antiques and to share in mutual interests of collectibles of all types, and all things old.
It seems today, many people are doing away with all of their old artwork, furniture and antiques for a variety of reasons - but we don't lose interest in them. Just because you have given something away and no longer have the room, or if you’ve never collected antiques but have always been interested in them, it’s still important to preserve their history and knowledge for yourself. It's a great way to share and tell stories about the past to the next generation.
Getting together with like minded individuals is a wonderful way to learn more about vintage articles that have shaped history as well as sharing and learning more about items that have been part of your family heritage - and a great way to make new friends and memories.
We are supposed to be retired, but we’re never home, always active and on the move, involved in so much and have less time than when we worked.
We hold monthly meetings with guest speakers or authors that talk about historical topics or vintage collections. There are planned outings to local historical sites and bus trips.
Living in an area where there are many experts on the kinds of vintage topics and local history that we all love, we can join together monthly to learn more,
and share our knowledge of history as we preserve historical collections
We have fun, and enjoy friendship at our monthly meetings, and when we travel somewhere that is beyond a day trip we enjoy our time together.
