Young Lady Celebrates 73rd Year of Club Membership!

A Press Release from Old Lyme Country Club

The movie “Gone With The Wind“ won an Academy Award for Best Picture, Franklin Roosevelt was the U.S. President, and Janet Littlefield joined the Old Lyme Country Club (OLCC). 

The year was 1940 and last week, the OLCC honored Janet and twenty-one other long term members with a delightful dinner celebrating and recognizing their contributions and camaraderie during the past 33 years.  

The club celebrated these anniversaries with a dinner, an emotional sharing of the Club’s oral history, a game of OLCC trivial pursuit and a sharing of fond memories and events that shaped the OLCC’s first 98 years. Another highlight of the evening were the many stories shared by members of friendship and life's events across many decades. 

The OLCC was founded in 1916 as a small informal Club organized by members of the Old Lyme community to promote recreational sport and social activity.
