OTOROHANGA LYCEUM CLUBhttp://www.lyceumclub.org/index.php?option=com_con...emid=228&lang=enOtorohanga Lyceum Club was formed in 1946. Cora Horneman saw the need for a venue for rural women to wait for their husbands on sale day and to this day Wednesday is still the main club day. Cora Horneman encouraged other women to raise funds with her and eventually built the club house, a short walk from the main street. That building has been added to as funds became available. Today there are well attended monthly circles. Luncheons and morning teas are held also.
