- Description
- Records include meeting minutes, financial records, membership information, newsletters and published programs which document the club's activities and reveal the changing focus of the club from a social organization to an organization dedicated to promoting good citizenship and physical fitness. Some regional and national records are included because the local secretary was active in their administration. The minutes from the district organization are written in German through 1940., The Rochester Central Turners was organized in 1900 as a member of the Pittsburgh District. While the mission of the National Turners was to develop a sound mind in a sound body, the Rochester Turners primarily promoted a more social experience for its members, most of whom were German immigrants., Gift of Katja Rampelmann, Processed MSS 233 12/4/96 K. Hockenson, Inventory available.
