Our Beginning
Our first meeting was held in the Bank of Osceola on November 16th ,1933. The 1st election for officers was held; Eugene Beyel was elected chairman, Charles W. Anderson as secretary, and Carl S. Peterson as Treasurer. A committee was formed to get new members and a membership fee of $1 was established.
On November 23rd, 1933 they met again to discuss the laws and rules of the club:
1. That we call the club The Osceola Rod and Gun Club.
2. That we use the bylaws of the Frederick Rod and Gun Club.
3. That we hold a regular meeting December 7th, 1933.
