Supreme Emblem Club of the United States of America
The Supreme Emblem Club of the United States of America is the unofficial female auxiliary of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.〔Alan Axelrod ''International Encyclopedia of Secret Societies and Fraternal Orders'' New York; Facts on File, inc 1997 p.77〕
== History ==
The order was organized during World War I by a group of female relatives of the Elks who met to wrap bandages to send to wounded soldiers overseas.〔Schmidt, Alvin J. ''Fraternal Organizations'' Westport, CT; Greenwood Press p.109〕 The group eventually decided to turn their circle into a regular club and were incorporated in the State of Rhode Island, "charted" on April 27, 1926 and "filed in the office of the Secretary of State" the following May 3. During the first year nine affiliates, known as Emblem Clubs, were formed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut.〔(History of Emblem )〕
The original articles of incorporation stated that the Emblem Clubs' goals were to "unite under one head, all existing and future Clubs commonly known as Elks' Ladies clubs, Committees or groups...promote sociability among members of Elks', share community welfare work...assist with social affairs...() promote better understanding and further the ideals and purposes for which each organization was established." Religious and political subjects were banned from discussion at Club meetings.〔Schmidt p.109〕
