Second of two official scrapbooks from the Let Us Lend a Hand club, documenting the years 1952 through 1972. Medium-large scrapbook with a green-grey tweedy cover, held together with a piece of black cord through two metal-lined holes on the left-hand side. The words "Scrap Book" are written on a black label in the upper left corner, with something indistinct written in white chalk next to it. Contains many newspaper articles from the Arlington Advocate stating when and where the monthly meetings of the club were held. There are also several articles about various events the club held, including luncheons, food sales, and wine tastings. Contains a large number of documents about an antique show held at the town hall, May 6-7 1964, mostly newspaper articles, but also including many legal documents about renting the town hall. Newspaper articles are generally well labeled with date and newspaper included. Some of the articles include pictures of members of the Lend a Hand club. There are also several photographic prints of the Lend a Hand club at various events, especially at club picnics. Many of the photographs are labeled with names, but several are not. There are also two letters to the Lend a Hand club, thanking them for their assistance. At the end of the book is a newspaper article detailing the history of the club and its purpose. There are many blank pages at the end of the book. Scrapbook is in pretty good condition, although some of the page bindings are starting to get frayed. Paper is in good condition.
