Centennial
​History Project

Thomas L. Carroll, of the Lincoln, NE, club wrote “The Story of Torch”, a history of the first 50 years of the IATC from 1924 to 1975. The Centennial History Team has been busy preparing the history of the second 50 years as a continuation of Tom Carroll’s work. Each decade from 1975 to present is being researched and written for print and digital publication.
​

Each chronological history by decade will include:
  • Significant Business Conducted
  • Events at Annual Conventions
  • By-laws Amendments
  • Strategic Plans
  • The Torch Foundation History
  • Criteria for Membership
  • Women & Minority Membership
  • Exemplary Leaders of Torch Clubs
  • Revenue & Expenses
  • The Torch Magazine & Other Publications Club/Membership Including Growth or Decline

Additionally, the committee is working together to develop:
  • Thematic Chapters
  • Lists of Historical Data/Information
  • Oral Histories Provided By Our Members

​Do you have any of this information? If so, you can help! We are looking for the following items:
  • Historical Documents, such as Board Minutes, Budgets, Directories, Newsletters and Programs
  • Membership Information about Women & Minorities
  • Photos of Individuals and Groups
    (with names and dates)
  • Great Stories about Torch or Members
  • Local Club Histories ​​
