Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated August 17, 1960 partially reads, "If one were to go into the North Hollywood home of Councilman Lemoine Blanchard, much of the 'homey atmosphere' there could be credited to a petite five-foot one-inch energetic force--Mrs. Blanchard...Just a few of her 'whirl of services to the community' are her present positions as president of the North Hollywood Circle to the Florence Crittenton Home, and chaplain of the Laurel Oaks Republican Women's Club. Past offices she has held are presidencies of the Toluca Guild to the Childrens Hospital, YWCA and Young Woman's Club...and membership on the board of directors of the Childrens Hospital Convalescent Home...Fran estimates she spends at least one day per week in charity work, and one day a month at the Childrens Hospital Thrift Shop in North Hollywood." Pictured is Fran Blanchard holding up a sweater on display at the Childrens Hospital Thrift Shop.
