"On Friday afternoon, in February 1913, the exact date uncertain, a group of mothers whose children were in the Concord School, held a meeting to talk over ways and means to improve school conditions and to stimulate interest among parents.  ...In October, a reorganization meeting was held and it was decided to have women's club which would be open to all women of the community.  The meeting was held at the Phillips home, and the name of the Mothers Club was decided upon."  (The Mothers' Club of Carrick History - Up to 20th Anniversary 1933)

== This video was transferred from a 16mm real found in the home of the former Mothers Club of Carrick, PA. This real was donated to the Carrick-Overbrook Historical Society and then converted to DVD. Currently this footage is the only home movie of the Carrick Community in this early time period of the 1940s. This movie also contains the original entrance to Carrick Park which was later renamed "Phillips Park." Also featured is the original Mothers Club house which was demolished for Pittsburgh Carrick High School’s first addition. This film was very rare for its time since it was in color and originally there was sound recorded onto a phonograph. At this present time we are unable to locate the audio that was recorded.==
