Our mission statement is “The object of this club shall be a pure motive to be devoted to worthy and charitable purposes; the promotion of goodwill in the community; and the recognition of civic responsibilities.”

Monthly membership meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, September through June at the Glen Arbor Township Hall, unless otherwise announced. Social time starts at 6:30pm, and the program begins at 7:00pm. A brief club meeting is held followed by social time and refreshments.
