Anderson dedicated the selection to "all the people
and to a power greater than all of us, w ho smiles
on all the efforts we put forth to bring to young
people in our community an opportunity to get an
education."
The National Women of Achievement Inc. was
formed in 1982 to recognize the achievements of its
members and other women in Forsvth Countv who
have made worthwhile contributions in the fields of
business, education, medicine, dentistry, human
services, law, religion, the arts, and politics, and to
encourage others, including young people and
groups, to strive for excellence.
Two years ago, a group of Winston-Salem
women met at the home of Mrs. Robert Scales to
discuss the possibility of organizing a WinstonSalem
chapter of the National Women of Achieve-0
ment Inc. There were nine women present: Clara
Hayes, Dr. Berthenia Home, Vivian Bright, Evelyn
Sellars, Roxanna. Pitts, Naomi McLean, Clara
Lowrance, Mrs. Manderline Scales and Helen Falls.
After listening to a tape recording Falls prepared,
which provided some basic information on the
organization, the group expressed a desire to
organize a Winston-Salem chapter.
On Aug. 9, 1982, the Winston-Salem Chapter of
National Women of Achievement Inc. was organized.
It was accepted in the national organization on
December 14, 1982.
During its first 10 months, the membership proceded
to perfect the organization with the drafting
