THE LADIES MUSICAL CLUB: A ‘REAL MEAT AND POTATOES’ ORGANIZATION
From The Woodinville Weekly; 13 Feb 2018; Written by Kirsten Abel
The Ladies Musical Club of Seattle has a quaint-sounding name.

Ellen Bartlett Bacon, along with several other women, launched the organization out of her Seattle house in 1891. According to the Ladies Musical Club website, the group was dedicated to “developing the musical talent of its members, and stimulating musical interest in Seattle.”
