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
