The Square and Circle Club, the nation’s oldest Chinese and Asian American women’s service organization, is set to celebrate a full century of dedicated community service and philanthropy in San Francisco next month.
Seven women met at the Chinese Congregational Church in San Francisco‘s Chinatown and established the Square and Circle Club in 1924. The nonprofit has nearly 70 members today, supporting diverse causes such as scholarships and a recent fundraising for Maui wildfire victims.
Notable members included Alice Fong Yu, the first Chinese and Asian American teacher in the San Francisco Unified School District, and Alice G. Lowe, the first Chinese and Asian American commissioner and chair of the Asian Art Museum.
