Assembly of San Diego

HISTORY OF THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE 
The Assembly Committee was founded in 1953 by representative women of San Diego County brought together by the late Mrs. Henry B. Clark. Incorporated as a non-profit organization with 100 adult members, The Assembly Committee held its first dance for members in September and December 1953, and June 1954.  
Each year the volunteer board and committees from various areas of the county invite young people from these areas to participate in the dance series. The active adult members make arrangements for the parties and act as chaperones. The continuing purpose of the Assembly is to broaden the social experience and social skills of these young members and to encourage county-wide friendships and in-person connections among them.
