- Biography (note)
- The Utility Club of New York City was founded in April 1917 to raise money and entertain soldiers during World War I. Over the years it evolved into a community organization focusing on expanding volunteer service throughout Harlem. Led by Mrs. Louise Fisher Morris who was president from 1933 until her death in 1979, the Utility Club awarded scholarships and educational aid, in addition to annual contributions to over thirty social welfare and civic agencies and organizations. An annual event was the anniversary luncheon in which members of the community were honored. In 1954 the Utility Club presented its first annual debutante cotillion, which served as the Club's prime fund raising affair.
