The following is a brief summary of SCRSR,s beginng prepared by Edne C.
In June of 1994, Janet K. publicized the new club’s first meeting at the Community Center – no one showed up! The following month, Janet, along with Pearl T. and Wille H. (both now deceased) got the club started and the first actual meeting was held in July 1994. Bylaws were adopted in November.

The rest is eventful history, with several other öld timers”( no disrespect intended) all helping the fledgling club to share activities and events geared to the needs of the new Continental Ranch community as well as each other. The club’’s memorial plaques are testimony to those who served the organization over the years, and they will always be remembered within the SCRCR family.
