Scope and Contents of the Materials

In addition to minutes, the meeting books include constitutions and bylaws (with revisions), newspaper clippings, attendance records, annual reports, and discussion topics.

One folder of member letters with reflections on the 1997 Red River flood are also included.

Collection Historical Note

Entre Nous was organized in 1910 in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to further the culture of its members and to fulfill worthy enterprises the club wished to undertake. Membership was by invitation and limited to a minimum of twelve, but no more than fourteen, who were elected by ballot. Meetings were generally held twice per month from October to the following May, and were hosted at the homes of members alternating by alphabetical order. Topics of discussion were chosen by the presenter. Entre Nous remains an active organization in Grand Forks to this day.
