"Our organization was originally known as the Travellarians, a thirteen-letter word coined by (Mrs. ) Kitty Crabtree in recognition of the original 13 travel bureau girls. They also agreed to meet on the thirteenth of each month. Their first outings in 1928 were hosted inspections by the Hotelman’s Association in Yosemite and along the Central California Coast. The purpose of the tour was to acquaint them with the hotels and points of interest along the route. It was on May 13, 1928 that four of the ladies including our chapter member, (Miss) Elsie May Kirker, discussed the formation of an organization composed of women while on a 6-day tour from San Francisco to Santa Barbara. This enterprising group of ambitious women were up against the odds in a predominantly man’s world. Their purpose for the organization was to develop a spirit of cooperation, to establish and maintain a means for the exchange of ideas and methods, to afford a mutually pleasurable getting together, and to promote better service to the public, employers and to those for whom the members of this organization would act as representatives" (from SFTP—SAN FRANCISCO TRAVEL PROFESSIONALS: A History, Then & Now ).
