Biographical / Historical

The Lafayette unit of the Young Men’s Business Club was formed in March 1933. The primary purpose of the Club was to encourage and assist in the material, civic, and economic progress and prosperity of the city of Lafayette. Specifically, it looked to improve the city through projects within the community. Examples of past projects include: awarding an annual Civic Cup to the area’s “most outstanding” person, the formation of the Junior Police to aide school children in crossing the streets near their schools, sponsoring scrap metal drives, and sponsoring an annual farmer’s barbecue held in cooperation with Southwestern Louisiana Institute.
