The Woman's Club was formed June 15, 1948 for
the purpose of educational, literary, and charitable
work. They had a vision of making the community a
better place while having fun. Their goal was
"Friendship, Fellowship, and Service to the
Community". The meeting was held in the old
firehouse on St. Mary's Street in Rockport.
In the Fall of 1948, the recreational building of
Humble Oil Company at Ingleside, Texas was
bought by Mrs. Fred B. Hunt and Mrs. C.C. Fowler as
representatives of the club. Mr. Emory M Spencer
underwrote this purchase. The building was moved
by barge in three sections to the present location
.
The first major endeavor of the club was to form a
library. The project was organized by Mrs. Julia
West. The Aransas County Library was started in
Arthur Bracht's old warehouse in Fulton with apple
and orange crates for shelves. Mrs. Joe H.
Slocum(Dollie) was president in 1956 when the first
project was commenced.
