Entries for January 29 - 1911 and 2011

Rita's Entry: Sunday, Jan 29, 1911
Went to Wellington Ave. Congregational Church.  Nice to us.  Enjoyed ourselves.  Wrote letters.  At 4 went over to Church of New Jerusalem to see Rachel, Laura and Joe.  Read, wrote, played.

IN RITA'S DAY:  The Wellington Ave Church was built in 1910.  The first service in the new building was held in January of 1911 and was conducted in the room labelled Assembly and Sunday School Room.  This room was also used for theatrical performances.  The main sanctuary was used first in October of 1911 and by that time, Rita had graduated and was back in Iowa.

TODAY:  The church is now the Wellington Ave United Church of Christ and the room where Rita attended a service has been named Baird Hall and is the home to Timeline Theater group.   In 2010 they celebrated the 100 years of the church.

Judy's Entry: Saturday, Jan 29, 2011
Mom and I went to our drawing class for several hours this morning.  Class looks like it is going to be a good, interesting group of people.  After class we went shopping and stopped at McDonald's for salads.  In the afternoon, went to the library and practiced the piano.  Did a little work on art class homework.
