Description
Delegates to the 1925 National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Club Convention in Portland, held from July 12-18, 1925, traveled to Greenwood Garden on Peaks Island for a clambake -- the first time many of the more than 2,000 women from across the U.S. had eaten Maine lobster and crab.
