First of two official scrapbooks from the Let Us Lend a Hand club, documenting from its founding in October 1936 until May 1952. 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 the word "One" written in white chalk next to it. Includes a copy of the program for Edward Everett Hale's funeral service, founder of the Lend a Hand society. There are several articles related to the founding of the organization, which was one of four Lend-a-Hand societies in Arlington and the choice of name. Included is a copy of the society's constitution and by-laws in a sealed envelope. There are also several handwritten invitations to the organization's meetings, as well as several printed letters between the L.U. Lend-a-Hand and the Arlington Social Service League. There are a number of letters written to the society, thanking them for their charity. There are a large number of documents related to a cabaret organized by the society in 1937, including advertisements leading up to the event, a copy of the program, and reviews afterwards. There are also a few documents related to a fashion show held in 1938, and supper dances held in 1939, 1940, and 1941. There are also articles about several luncheon bridge's held. There are several documents related to organizing these events, including licenses, tax information, and menu planning. Near the back, there are some brief articles about the monthly meetings of the club. In the back part of the book are some photographs of the society at picnics and other gatherings, mostly unlabeled. Scrapbook is in pretty good condition, although the holes on several on the pages are starting to fray.
