The Club has few historical documents and photos dating before the 1990s, including from its founding period. “We’d like the community’s help recovering our history so we have a complete picture of how we got from where we started to where we are today – especially those who helped us get here,” said CEO P.T. McEwen. Anyone previously affiliated with the Club is invited to get in contact by calling (888) 822-6535, ext. 207, or email info@bgcie.org. Former members, employees and volunteers can bring in photos and T-shirts. Additionally, the Club is seeking agendas, minutes, financials, and event photos from former board members.
