Sister Sadie Cadman had, from her youth, a wonderful ambition to work for the cause of Christ as a missionary. It was out of this desire that Sister Sadie Cadman's mind was inspired to do something for the women of the Church and help in spreading the gospel.

In January of 1920 Sister Sadie asked and was granted permission to create an organization for the women of the Church. The decision to call the new organization "The Ladies' Uplift Circle" was given by revelation to Sister Violet Sarver. The sisters felt God prompted this work and they expressed great joy as they discussed their role as women in The Church of Jesus Christ.

The Ladies' Uplift Circle continues to provide opportunities for today's women of the Church to work cooperatively for the missionary and charitable needs of the gospel.
