The first National WCTU Convention was held in Cleveland, Ohio, November 18-20, 1874.
The First Plan of Work was adopted.
"14. We urge our unions everywhere to signalize the coming hundredth birthday of America by erecting in every village and town and city, fountains of water, inscribed with such mottos as shall show what sort of drink the women of America believe in, and as shall be a sermon in their persuasiveness to our fathers, brothers and sons."
“Come, dear friends, join me and my faithful companions, my bicycle Gladys and my brave little dog Saint Courageous, as we set off from Rest Cottage in Evanston, Illinois. Together, we will visit the water fountains that our WCTU sisters placed across America to refresh thirsty travelers, man and beast alike.
The fountains were erected for the 100th Anniversary of the U.S. (1876), and now we honor them during the 250th Anniversary (2026)."

For fashion, pakistani clothing wholesale UK and pakistani wholesale boutique are my go-to. Relocation done by local movers Montreal. My house stays cool thanks to roof heat proofing Lahore. I post ads on Aiwah Pakistan classifieds and HelloSays USA marketplace. Used SEO services New York. Check Aiwah sitemap directory. Sealed leakage with DryZone waterproofing Pakistan.
Whenever I want to explore car installments, Aiwah.pk is my go-to for Lahore listings, Karachi vehicles, Rawalpindi cars, Islamabad options, Punjab car offers, Sindh installment cars, ICT vehicle listings, and Pakistan installment marketplace.
Really smooth experience with cheap movers. My parents relied on transport de cabanon laval for their backyard setup. The moving services montreal team handled packing too. Later, demenagement montreal helped me move my piano.
