Administrative history / Biographical sketch

What became the Hinton Trail Community Club began in 1939 as a women’s organization, the Craigellachie Community Club. They met once a month and put on dances, card parties, teas and bazaars in Craigellachie School. One of their big events was putting on the children’s Christmas concert. The Red Cross Committee made an annual drive for funds in order to send their local servicemen parcels of baking and knitted articles. After the Hinton Trail Hall was built in 1947 and Craigellachie school was closed in 1948, the club became known as the Hinton Trail Community Club. The organization looked after events and maintained the building. The club is still active and the hall still used.
