History
The Ollapodrida Study Club was organized in April 1921 in Minneapolis by eleven women members of Simpson Church. The club's name comes from the Spanish phrase "olla podrida" which loosely translates to "hodgepodge". The club's motto was "preserve and improve". The purpose of the club was to serve as a center for inspiration, information, self improvement and happy associations. Membership was limited to 25 members. Meetings were held the second Monday of each month. Members hosted meetings at their homes on a rotating schedule. Food typically was not served at meetings. Rather, the meetings focused on discussing intellectually challenging questions and topics.
The club disbanded on June 14, 1965.
Members included: Emma Stephens, Linda MacLean, Myrta E. Hainer, Emily Cobb, Ella Hendrix, Rosette Hendrix, Julia Hendrix, Susie Hamilton, Myra A. Comer, Anna R. Weed, Elizabeth L. Morrison
