One document lists Mrs. James McDonald (1938-40) and Mrs. Charles Getzendaner (1940-42) as Presidents. There were 39 clubs in the Junior Federation and a travel fund was adopted. The Washington State Juniors raised $800 for the Helen Keller Tribute by selling ash trays made by the blind. The organization received national recognition from IR GFWC for this work.
