Under First Congregational Church, I created a sub-paragraph for the Outlook Club.

The Outlook Club

The Outlook Club was a women’s group associated with the First Congregational Church at Black Point in 1910. They worked to create the Civil War Monument on the land then known as “The Village Green,” which had once been the site of the Second Parish Church. (Now known as Dunstan.) The monument was dedicated on June 21, 1913. The Club created a Cook Book as part of its fund-raising activities.

and uploaded the cookbook to the Internet Archive and to Digital Maine.
