The College Club has continued to maintain a balance among its social, educational, and philanthropic goals. The dispensing of funds for scholarships and for charitable work has been the main thrust of the club's philanthropies. In addition to its scholarship program, the Club also maintains a Community Outreach Fund to which members contribute annually. Donations are distributed to various Cleveland charitable organizations which meet a variety of needs in the local community. Members enjoy the weekly Monday luncheons or dinners followed by programs. These provide mental stimulation and recreation through lectures, concerts, dance performances, and other presentations of current interests.
