Ebell Society Presents Gift to Oakland Public Library

by Gordon Laverty

Since 1876 The Ebell Society of Oakland has served the women of Oakland. Recently, past presidents Lois Young (left) and Rosselyn Combs presented to retiring Director and developer of the library's Oakland History Room William Sturm, a check to encourage and enhance the history element of the Oakland Public Library. The presentation occurred at the June reception celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Oakland History Room. Mr. Sturm and Ms. Young are long-time Laurel District residents. Ebell Society recently consolidated with The Lakeview Club to form The Ebell-Lakeview Club of Oakland to strengthen future service to women of the Bay Area.
