The California Utah Women, originally named the Utah Women's Club, was founded in 1939 by a small group of California women who united to share their Utah heritage and experiences. They were very active in the 1940's giving aid to European countries, even forming their own Red Cross Chapter. They became a philanthropic organization with the introduction of the Heritage and sholarship awards presented at their annual luncheons. The group continues to be active philanthropically, and their mission has grown from sharing a common heritage to giving their time to their communities and those in need throughout the nation and worldwide. Photograph caption dated March 19, 1965 reads, "It's not a monkey, it's an orangutan that Dr. Nathan Hale is holding for Marilyn Hare, fashion show coordinator, and Mrs. John P. Hunt, Granada Hills, president of the California Utah Women. The women are at the new Children's Zoo in Griffith Park to gather background material for their annual spring fashion show, 'Sounds of Los Angeles,' to be held March 27 at the Ambassador Hotel."
