Las Madrecitas is an auxiliary of the Crippled Children's Guild of the Los Angeles Orthopaedic Hospital,
located in downtown Los Angeles. The organization began in 1956 through the efforts of Mrs. Harold
D. Leslie, Jr. The original membership included twelve ladies. We have grown over time and have an
average of 85-105 active members. In 1965, Las Madrecitas took on the sponsorship of Las Ninas de
las Madrecitas, a junior auxiliary of high school girls.
Club membership is open to any woman who is interested in the aims and purposes of this Auxiliary
and who meet the requirements of the Auxiliary. A prospective provisional meeting is usually held in
January.
The object of this organization shall be to promote the welfare of crippled children, through public
relations, volunteers, and financial assistance in cooperation with the Crippled Children's Guild of
Orthopaedic Hospital.
Las Madrecitas is proud of its long history and its record of service to Orthopaedic Hospital. Las
Madrecitas also promotes the importance of community service in the Palos Verdes area.
