Mason Mayor Don Prince recently honored Mason club Qui Vive on its 110th anniversary.
The club, whose name means “on the alert,” was founded as a literary group in 1901 by 11 area women. It is the longest functioning organization in Mason.
Members encourage cultural development through the research, writing and presentation of papers at least once a year on topics such as travel, history, music, education, science and history.
Community development is also a focus of the group, whose members worked in 1976 to see the passage of House Bill 80 to allow for a library in Mason. Three members were on the first library board when it was dedicated in 1980.
