About Us:

The first mention of the Club appears in a July 27, 1928 issue of the Siuslaw Oar. The article reported on the previous meeting and the upcoming August meeting. An October 28, 1928 article references the adoption of Bylaws for the Club. This would seem to confirm that the Club started operation in 1928.

However, other newspaper articles reference an earlier organizational date. A June 28,1940 article states that the Club was “founded in June of 1927”. The article mentions an Earl H. Hill who has been a member from almost the beginning. Mr. Hill gave a presentation on the accomplishments of the Club from 1927 to present (1940). A January 25, 1942 article states that the Club was formed in 1927 with Larry Derrin as it’s first President. A Siuslaw Oar article dated June 12, 1942 states the first Club meeting was held in June of 1927 at the Galen Morse barber shop in Florence.
