Fortuna Tierra Club History by Jack and Barbara Rairden

     The Fortuna Tierra Ladies Club of Log Hill Mesa held the first organizational meeting at the home of Zona Humphrey on Sept. 26, 1970.  The Charter Members were: Gladys Adamson, Agnes Dodenhof, Nellie Flowers, Bea Frenze, Beula Griffith, Zona Humphrey, Alma Knifer, Hilda Maertz, Marian McClaren, Hettie McLaughlin, Mildred Moon, Irene Nuckolls, Ruth Stanford, Vera Thayer, and Mina Voss.

    At this meeting, officers were elected; monthly meetings were to be held on the first Tuesday of each month at the home of a member with a co-hostess.  Dues were optional, but not more than 10 cents/month.  Members were to contribute one cent for each year of their birthday and wedding anniversary on that month.

    The name of the club was selected by the members based upon the name of the La Tierra ditch that flows from Horsefly Creek to water the fields in northern Log Hill Mesa.  The club members shared ideas, crafts, and recipes and gave help where it was needed in the community.

    That tradition of community service continues to this day.  Their current Mission Statement reads:  "Fortuna Tierra Club is a women's club organized to promote neighbors coming together to give aid and support when needed and raise funds for local philanthropic endeavors."
