Irene Charnock (1898-1984) Active in the DPS: 1948-1968 Active in Nature Study Group NSS Local Hikes DPS Camping; 23 yrs outings; remainder Evening Dinners Comm Irene Charnock was the 'volunteer extraordinaire'. During her long Sierra Club career she took on an amazing number of roles. With no assistance from outside sources Irene rented an office next door to the former chapter offices in the Philharmonic Building off Pershing Square to accumulate a huge collection of club records that now forms the core of the chapter archives. The broad range of these materials may be inferred by the many roles assumed by this volunteer extraordinaire. The chapter's highest volunteer service award is named in her honor. Throughout she also led a large number of chapter outings and functions. Portrait of Irene Charnock. Slide mount stamped with processing date of October 1965
