Leland, You CAN join an all girl's club for all of me. I have never
belonged to one. The only "fraternal" organization I ever belonged to was
the Grange, a farm oriented organization which has both genders. In fact,
there is only one office that is gender specific, Lady Assistant Steward,
which I assume pretty much precludes males in that office. All other
offices may be held by either gender. Ruth
