Since its inception in 1930, the Payette Lakes Progressive Club has been helping to build the McCall community. The Club assisted the sponsorship of the McCall Public Library, McCall Memorial Hospital and the formation of Art Roberts Park. Club members promoted the landscaping of City parks and financed the City park sprinkler system in the 1960’s. Band uniforms were purchased for the high school in 1969, as well as the first winter street decorations. The tradition of planted flower barrels downtown began with the club.
Join this worthy civic organization and combine your efforts with ours to make a difference in our community. Membership is open to women of all ages!
The Club meets the second Tuesday at noon during the months of February, April, June, August, October and December.
