Tuesday Afternoon Book Club of Blacksburg (Blacksburg, Va.)
Administrative History
The Tuesday Afternoon Book Club was organized in Blacksburg, Virginia, on March 13, 1933. Bernice Pettinger was elected the club's first president. Gathering the third Tuesday of each month to discuss books and current affairs, the club's membership consisted largely of wives of Virginia Tech faculty members, though it also included a few members of the faculty itself. Officers were elected and members were nominated throughout the club's existence. A hand-made program was created for each year's worth of meetings and given to all members. Minutes were taken at each meeting and refreshments were served. The club held its last meeting on June 20, 1989.
