SWANS, Inc.

"72 Years: Continuing the Legacy" to enhance service, social and civic engagement in the community. The charter members were the late Margaret C. James, Betsy B.

HISTORY OF THE SWANS

In October of 1952, a group of 10 educators at Washington Elementary School in Kenner, Louisiana organized the Swans Club, Inc. Houston, Ethel H. Hammond, Hilda S. Bujol, Lucille Carroll, Gloria Bijol, Edna Crockem, Evelyn Carroll, Doris Bijol Jones and Angeline Harris. In addition to the charter members the following ladies were added within three years: Ruth Blue, Rosalie

Bradford, and Aleitha Bardell. The goals of the organization are as follows:
to promote social, cultural, and civic engagement
to enhance community life
to provide humanitarian services
to provide scholarships
to bring cheer and recognition to unsung heroines and the elderly
to assist people in crisis
to motivate children and youth to be the best that they can be. Having selected as the motto, “OTHERS ARE LIFTED AS WE CLIMB”, the Swans, Inc. continue to engage in activities that will enhance and promote the ideals which the motto embraces. It is hoped that when some of the young people reflect on the motto, they will remember the Swans as one group that has had a positive impact on their lives.
