Finding aid for the Windsor Club Minute Book

History of the Windsor Club

Windsor Club (f. 1927 or 1928) was an all-male social club in Cleveland, Ohio, that met at Council Educational Alliance and at members' homes. During the period from October 1937 through June 1939 members participated in a basketball team and in social events including New Year's Eve parties, stag parties prior to members' marriages, sleigh rides, and attendance at wrestling matches. They also sent gifts to members' new-born babies and loaned money to those members in need.
