Circle History - Henny Kiefner Circle - est.

Originally Henny lived on Capital Hill and wanted to join the Elizabeth Gerbel Circle.  She was told that the Elizabeth Gerbel Circle membership was closed.  A group of Henny’s friends from the Capital Hill area were starting a new circle.  Henny was not present for their first meeting, but when she enquired later about the meeting they said, “We are now a new circle and we named it the Henny Kiefner Circle. 

Later Henny moved to the Laurelhurst area and St. Bridget parish.  The Henny Kiefner Circle traveled with her to Laurelhurst and is now associated more with that area of town.  In the 1990s members were: Ann Brown, June Butler, Marsha Chism, Alice Daeuble, Billy Costello, Norma DiJulio, Orvie Frisbie, Eileen Hicks, Cecile Horton, Rebecca Johnson, Henny Kiefner, Betty Liddle, Margaret McCarthy, Aileen McGinnis, Mary Mitchell, Mary Ellen Mundt, Helen Naughton, Virginia Mullins, Mary Nadeau, Catherine Owens, Katherine Ruddy, Maribeth Spelman, Dot Schmidt, Margaret Shuham, Dorothy Zeigen.  Many of these members have died, but the work that they started is being continued by younger women.

    •      *In 2008 Henny Kiefner Circle offers an uninterrupted effort to work, play and pray together as they raise funds and awareness for neglected children.
    •       *Henny and her circle members were dynamos of action.  They were very supportive of all Association activities.  They had luncheons, played bridge, held small auctions, participated in Fantasy Fair and sold hundreds of calendars.  Henny recently said that they sold as many as 700 calendars each year.  She said that now she only sells about 50 calendars.  Could it be that she is slowing down a bit .
