"In 1964 a small group of young women working at what was formerly Kit Carson Elementary School developed a special bond with each other. Through their common interests and concerns for the community, they founded Les Femmes Douze (the ladies twelve in French). The founding members were Helen Anderson, Gwen Bennett, Ella Blackmon, Lois Bolden, Margaret Crawford, Ruth Hicks, Barbara Kirkland, Esther Langston, Bernice Moten, Joanne Pughsley, Eva Simmons, and Dorothy Taylor."
