Historical Note

The Riviera Club was founded in 1933 by James Makin and a group of northside residents of Indianapolis, Indiana to provide low-cost recreational facilities for families. The Riviera Club Boosters was established in 1935 with an objective to "stimulate interest in any and all things having to do with the welfare of the Riviera Club" through its social and athletic committees. Officers of the Boosters served for a six month term and Homer Woods was elected the group's 22nd president on April 6, 1945.
