Since March 20th, 1957, the Cleveland Club of Washington D.C. has hosted over one hundred gatherings, mainly luncheons, featuring such honored speakers as George Szell, Anthony J. Celebrezze, Frank J. Lausche, George V. Voinovich, and Harold H. Burton, to name but a few. As the club prepares to celebrate the 50th year bringing together Washington men and women who share a keen interest in Cleveland, we share some highlights from our past, and encourage members to make suggestions of speakers and activities for the future. Please feel free to contact club president Brooke Stoddard with your suggestions for the future, as you enjoy these reflections from the past.
