A P.E.O. friend mentioned that she's a T.T.T. I'd never heard of it, so I looked it up:

From their website:
It started with a casual remark. Bess Cook Budde and Gladys Stewart Walters were talking. Bess noted that there were many things for boys to do in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, but not for girls. It was January 1911.....Gladys envisioned clubs being formed by women in their hometowns, each with the same name and same ideals. The focus would be on service embodied in charity. She believed charity was three-fold: thought, word and deed....
She shared the idea with Bess, who liked it immediately. They gathered four friends and met for the first time on June 30, 1911. The T.T.T. Society was born.....Today, nearly 5,000 members in 12 states carry on the work of the six founders.
