A Time Honored
Tradition:
The
Thursday Club of San Diego was founded in 1921 to promote social, educational,
cultural, and civic activities. In 1927, the Club received a deed of
property in the Sunset Cliffs area from Mr. R. E. Mills of the Pantages-Mills-Shreve
Company. Ground was broken for a clubhouse that year, and in 1928, the
project was completed. Today, the Clubhouse is renowned as a beautiful
San Diego landmark.
Since 1921, The
Thursday Club has raised over $1,000,000 for numerous philanthropic
organizations in the community. The Thursday
Club Annual Rummage Sale, held in Balboa Park each spring, is the
Club's major fundraising event. Half of the money raised is distributed
throughout the park, while the remaining half is contributed to other
community causes.
Members
of The Thursday Club are very proud of the Club's heritage and have
volunteered many hours and made generous contributions to aid growth
and development throughout San Diego County.
