Administrative history
The Keeler Grandmothers Club was organized on June 19, 1954 at the farm home of Mrs. Percy Lightle. The first president was Mrs. Lightle, Secretary-treasurer was Mrs. Irene Bullivant. The club was a social club and all the senior ladies of the Keeler district were welcome to join. Charter members were: Mrs. J. Keeler, Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. J. Gardner, Mrs. W. Shwenneker, Mrs. H. Buckmaster, Mrs. P. Lightle, Mrs. H. Dow, Mrs. D. English, Mrs. J. Aupperle, Mrs. R. Swanson, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Bullivant, Mrs. Crittenden, Mrs. Knight, Mrs. Pierce and Mrs. Smith. Membership dues were 25 cents per year. A collection was taken at each meeting for lunch and a white elephant draw. Contests and bingos were also enjoyed.
By the 1990's the Club had retired to Moose Jaw with its members and still met in each others homes. In 2001 the games were discontinued and members met monthly for lunch at a local restaurant.
In 2006 the Club still meets once a month for coffee and fellowship.
