History Continued...

Over the years The Club has provided scholarships & grants at Tuskegee Institute, Shaw University, Meharry Medical & Dental School and other Institutions. ESC has provided gifts and donations to other national and local organizations.

To date, this Club of less than 30 men gave what is arguably the single largest non cooperate gift ever presented to The United Negro College Fund (UNCF, Parade of Stars Telethon), Over $70,000.00.

These are just a few of the many contributions made by a group of men that came together for purely social purposes and found it necessary and rewarding to leave their footprints in the sands of the community.

When ever you see the Club Members assembled, you will notice the gold medallions they proudly ware. In 1975 Charles P. Dilworth, in collaboration with a New York jeweler, designed and created the round pendent with the words ENGLEWOOD CLUB creatively drawn inside.  Each member, from that day forward, has owned one and they are warn at all official club gatherings or functions.

    The friendship that brought the original members together in the early 1960's goes a little deeper than the constitution that was thought out and put on paper in 1967. There was a singular driving reason to organize and there was one person more than any other that represented and directed that drive. The Person was Frances Augustus Hutchins (Pictured front page above, right).
 
 
     The original Constitution of the Englewood Social Club states“the group will function as an independent organization”.  This independent group, known as “The Englewood Social Club” was now off and running. By the summer of 1969 the Englewood Social Club decided to hold a formal cocktail party and dinner dance of their own. It turned out to be a tremendous success!

    That year 1969 began the tradition of the annual formal Celebration and Dinner Dance for our members and invited friends. We now stand, more than forty-eight years later, as a strong supporters of and examples to the community we enjoy.
