A TRADITION WE’RE PROUD TO CARRY FORWARD

Here since 1925.
Still looking ahead.

On October 1, 1925, Lancaster’s American Business Club held its charter banquet at the Hotel Brunswick. Fifty-four charter members began a tradition of friendship and community service.

In 2025, we celebrated 100 years as a Lancaster chapter—one of the early chapters of the national AMBUCS organization.

OUR LANCASTER STORY

A century of shoulders together.

1925 · A beginning at the Brunswick

Donald M. Mylin, the chapter’s first president, accepted the charter at a banquet attended by 80 members and guests. The chapter began with 54 charter members.

Early years · Service across the city

Members supported community initiatives including a new railroad station and Christmas celebrations for children.

2025 · Our centennial

The chapter celebrated its 100th anniversary, with National President Gordon Shaw presenting a commemorative plaque to Chapter President Pete Wengrenovich.

Today · The tradition continues

Amtryke adaptive tricycles, an annual scholarship for therapy students, local service, and friendship carry our mission forward.
