Here are some postings about the Cheery Chase Club for the Blind from a couple of years back: ========================================================================= Received: from [66.218.230.220] by web53310.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Sun, 21 Nov 2004 07:14:30 PST Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 07:14:30 -0800 (PST) From: Grant Warren <hirules_house@yahoo.com> Subject: Cheery Chase Club for the Blind To: lclevers@bellsouth.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Length: 914 To Whom it may concern, I just tried posting this message to the list, but I'm not sure I did it right. I have in my posession a booklet commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Cheery Chase Club for the Blind. I've had the booklet for about 10 years. In the front of the Booklet is black and white photograph of a bunch of blind people wearing their best clothes and of course all holding their white walking canes. The book is full of quotes from these people singing the praises of a Mr. George Everett Chase for bringing meaning back into their lives, etc. The Way I came into posession of the book is that apparently a ms. Yvonne Charlotte Richeleau received a copy of the book around the early 1900's. As far as I can tell she was some sort of a famous model at the time and must have been close friends with Mr and Mrs. Chase. When Ms. Richeleau passed away, a lot of her belongings were left to a family in the hills of Missouri. They passed down those belongings in the family until they sold the house-and EVERYTHING IN IT to my family. I am writing to find out who can give me more information about the Cheery Chase club for the blind, as well as Ms. Richeleau and her relationship to the Chase's as I have many of her other posessions as well, including personal correspondence between her and a Mr. and Mrs. Governor Knight of California. Any information you have will help. I've been searching for 10 years for information about all of this and your email list is the first that I've found of any of this.

I've been searching for 10 years for information about all of this and This entry from the chase chronicles is the first I've ever found of the Cheery chase club for the blind: "THE CHASE CHRONICLE 5 King succeeding her. She has been another dear friend to me. I am hoping that Mr. and Mrs. George Everett Chase of Los Angeles will be at the summer reunion here. I am also deeply in- debted to them, if they had been close rela- tives they could not have been more helpful and kind. They have a very lovely home designed by Mrs. Chase who, before her marriage, was Miss Anne Webber of Brook- line; she is highly gifted artistically, both as a sculptor and painter. And Mr. Chase is equally talented in a literary line. He has traveled extensively and has written several manuscripts about his journeys, one of especial interest to all Chases as it tells about the old manor house in England which has been purchased by a wealthy man who has restored the estate and the chapel to its original condition. Mr. Chase is also extremely philanthropic, he is deeply interested in the work of help- ing the blind and has formed the Cheery Chase Club which is free, where these afflicted people are entertained at frequent meetings by musical talent and lectures on interesting topics, they even have fancy dress dances! It is almost unbelievable what a difference this Club has made in the outlook of many of these blind people. Mr. Chase is almost worshipped by them, and rightly, for bringing so much happiness into their lives. It has been my privilege to be present at some of their meetings and the spirit of optimism and enjoyment brought about by his enthusiastic work is an inspira- tion to those of us who feel we are de- pressed by world conditions yet are enjoying all of our five senses."
