Their presence and personal support has contributed greatly to many school functions. They have also assisted many of the school’s projects. This year, their President was Mrs. Cole Oehler. Under her leadership, the Mothers' Club sponsored and participated in many fundraising endeavors. The Annual Luncheon and Style Show was a highly successful gala affair. They also held the Upper and Lower School Bake Sales. Some of the mothers participated in Dayton’s Jubilee Sale, and served refreshments at several Upper School dances. They pledged to the Capital Fund Campaign, and gave generous donations to the Mustang and to the Endowment Fund. The Mustang joins the students and the faculty in expressing gratitude for these and many other services performed by the Breck Mothers’ Club. 13
