"There is a difference between a book of two hundred pages from the very beginning, and a book of two hundred pages which is the result of an original eight hundred pages. The six hundred are there. Only you don't see them."

—Elie(zer) Wiesel (b. 1928) Romanian-born writer, lecturer, survivor Nazi camps, Nobel

The Dora Friendly Club is a rural community "ladies club", which began over 75 years ago, at a time before paved roads and television. Local women would gather at a member's home for all day meetings, as most of them walked to the meeting places. The first By-laws stipulated that the members would gather to help the hostess with whatever chores she chose, whether it be canning, quilting or cleaning.

Over the years the Club has taken on many projects which are vital to the continuance of Dora as a community. The Club sponsors some traditional activities which were started by the East Fork Sportsmen's Club and the P.T.A., as neither of those groups is still in existence. Some of the activities include an annual scholarship for a local student, the Fishermen's Breakfast in May, and annual Corn Feed in September, and the community Christmas program. The club has also provided quilts for families who have lost their homes in fires, scholarships to 4-H camp, and friendship and prepared food for bereaved neighbors in need. Current committees include representatives from the church, library, and fire department, all of which are housed in the former Dora School building.
