Nearly a century after its founding, the Enright Social Club has remained a group of staunch and true African-American men who gather on a regular basis to socialize while remaining "ever thoughtful of each other" while they are apart one from the other. It is in that light and custom that every new applicant is recommended by a current member in good standing.
The Enright Social Club started in Indianapolis,
Indiana in 1914 when
eight African-American men
decided to meet on a monthly basis to play cards and socialize at each others homes. Several years later, these same men desired to bring in new members to the club. One member was quoted as saying "I think we are in the right by doing this" and the name Enright was adopted.
The club's original objective was to promote the "mutual social benefits of its members". So true to the original tradition, the Enright Social Club continues to meet monthly at members homes at 7:00 pm on the third Tuesday of each month excluding the months of July and August. The clubs social events include a formal dance, family picnics, various bus trips, dinner outings, plays, jazz concerts and sporting events.
