: Go or Die Club (New Liberty, Mesa County, Colorado); According to Marjorie (Morrow) Thomas, who grew up in New Liberty, it was a women’s club organized shortly after the settlement of the New Liberty area in the early Twentieth century [1918]. The club held dances and other events in the New Liberty school. The name for the club was suggested by Mrs. Sumnicht, one of the “old timers” in the area. It helped out families in need and sponsored events. They also made quilts and did some work for the hospital in Fruita. They organized sightseeing trips to places of interest. The organization was later renamed the Sorosis Club, which continued to meet at least into the 1980’s.
