ABSTRACT: Records of a local men's society, organized in 1925 and disbanded in 1956, which promoted good fellowship in informal surroundings. The Club met monthly from October to May for dinners, lectures, and entertainment. Service projects conducted by the Club included Fathers and Sons Day with the boys and faculty of the Wisconsin Home and Farm School, and an annual community Christmas party. Includes brief minutes and a small amount of correspondence, membership lists, and financial statements and dues lists. Because the club was primarily a social organization, the minutes are usually short and do not reveal much information about club projects and activities.

ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY: In 1925 the Delafield Men's Club was organized by area men to promote good fellowship in informal surroundings. The Club met monthly from October to May for meals, lectures, and other entertainment. Service projects included Fathers and sons Day in February, with the boys and faculty of the Wisconsin Home and Farm School as guests, and the annual Christmas community party. On April 10, 1956, the membership voted to disband the club.
