This Day in History: 1938-07-07

Forty-two members of the newly organized Mahwah Township Civic Association paid their first dues as the club held its second full meeting. This was considered remarkable since the meeting had been changed from the second Thursday of the month to the first Thursday of the month without formal notification of the membership. There had been 93 charter members at the initial meeting the previous month. It was decided to use a post card system to notify members of future meetings. President Keys admitted that he had failed to name the members of the five-member special Executive Board but promised to do so before the next meeting. (Bristow)
