The club crowned Beth Swinand its 1956 Miss Procrastinator in November 1957. At the meeting, the club decided its Christmas party would be held in April, although it postponed choosing the exact date. In 1966, the club held an anti-war demonstration, against the
War of 1812, with signs saying "Procrastinators protest the War of 1812!" and "
Dolly Bird - Tell
Pres. Madison We Want Peace!". The club's newsletter announced that the protest was a success because "
a treaty has now been signed." During the
United States Bicentennial, the club vowed to picket the
Whitechapel Bell Foundry, who cast the
Liberty Bell, with signs "We got a lemon" and "What about the warranty?" The foundry told the protesters that it would be glad to replace the bell—so long as it was returned in the original packaging. In 1976, the club awarded the
Betsy Ross Bridge in Philadelphia the "Award to Come Later" award for its long delayed opening. In 1991, the club picketed a seafood restaurant because of its
early bird special. Waas held a blank sign because he hadn't gotten around to writing anything on it. ==See also==
