The purpose of the Circle was to "Strengthen the bond of unity among the Sisters", "To follow the teachings of our order and to help the sick and needy", "To increase the sociability and interest in our Grange", and "By sewing, entertainments and fairs, to increase the funds of our Treasury." The group was organized in January of that year, and the book records meetings, usually about every week, until Jan 27, 1911.
