Guidelines for Membership
How The Neighborhood Club Began
In the Fall of 1890, five men, all interested in the game of lawn tennis, held a meeting for the purpose of making plans to organize a club, to build tennis courts and a club house. At this meeting it was suggested that each one of the original five men invite five other men to attend a meeting. The 30 West Newton residents met and organized The Neighborhood Club.
