Through the efforts and interest shown by members of the Harriet A. Moore Mission Band in trying to bring together the young girls of the church for a definite purpose, i. e. to learn more of the mission work being done, both at home and abroad, and also to aid the church wherever possible, a meeting was held in the Sunday School room of Christ Lutheran Church on June 21, 1933, where the Young Women's Missionary Society was organized.
The membership has grown from nine to 21 with Mrs. C. S. Brewer and Mrs. C. J. Headland serving as sponsors.

Miss Louise White
Miss Olive Brown
The officers serving at present are:
