Centennial Celebration
May 6, 2023
 

    Santa Clara County Branch of the National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW) celebrated our 100 year anniversary. This was a year delayed because of covid-19.

    NLAPW was first charted in 1897 in Washington D.C. When the Santa Clara County Branch was chartered in 1922 only 23 branches had been charted previously.
