The Club was chartered on April 25, 1984.   Three of the founding charter members who are currently active members in our club include; Pat McDermott, Dave Wright, and Jerry Walsh.

Some of the other early presidents include the following:

 

Several other stories about fun events and traditions were shared.  These included sporting events, Super Bowl Parties, Trivia Bowls, the adventures of the stolen gavel, and many more.  Time was also spent remembering those members that we have lost over the years.  It has been over thirty years of fun and most of all service to our community.
