Extent: 27 file folders plus 3 oversized items
Organizational Sketch: The Eclectas Club of Dothan, Alabama, was originally a Soroptimist Club, founded by Soroptimist members from Montgomery and chartered on March 17, 1956. In 1964, the club members became dissatisfied with the Soroptimist Federation and reorganized as an independent society. Dr. Carlisle Miller, the minister of the First United Methodist Church, Dothan, suggested to club member Clara Flowers that the club rename itself "Eclectas" - Greek for "Best of Women".
