Eighteen of its founding members, both past members and those still involved in the club, will be honoured during the meeting.

The club is in its 26th year and has not only helped the community, but individuals such as its own publicity officer, Angela Hilder.

Mrs Hilder said she moved to Deloraine from interstate and would not have assimilated into the community as quickly if it weren't for the support the club offered.

"A friend of mine who's part of Probus asked me if I'd like to go along. Because I moved here and didn't know a lot of people, I thought I may as well," she said.

"I know a lot more women now . . . socially it's a bit more welcoming."

Stories such as Mrs Hilder's would not be told if the founding members hadn't dedicated themselves to the foundation of the club.

"We thought it would be nice to hold a special thing for them," she said.

"We'll be having a presentation for them, including a morning tea and guest speaker."

Mrs Hilder said the celebration would be held from 10am-noon on July 2 at the Deloraine Community Complex's Rotary Pavilion.

Presentations will be made by Rotarian Malcolm Taylor, who helped organise the club's foundation meeting.

Active members to be recognised are: Beverly Davis, Marie Douglas, Helen Greene, Anne Haines, Vonda Hardy, Shirley Lockhart and Joan Loone.

Past members to be recognised include: Nancy Broomhall, Berry Carter, Wynsome Johnstone, Margery Kleinig, Kath Lewis, Dorothy McCauley, Marjorie Pratt, Patricia Pratt, Betty Saggers, Amy Sherriff and Margaret Terry.
