Celebrating 100 years of American community in Hong Kong

Past, Present & Future.

Introduction

From the Past and into the Future

A Sense of Belonging mixes nostalgia with an understanding that culture evolves, and cultural legacies are passed on for the next generation to cherish.

OUR STORY

Our Club will celebrate 100 years in 2025!

The Club’s 100th birthday on July 6, 2025, is fast on approach. While we kicked off our Centennial year celebrations in 2024, the coming six months will see some key events in the lead up to the Club’s highly anticipated milestone. Our upcoming events will encapsulate the rich history and showcase how the Club came to be and the value of its contribution to community and beyond...

Project 100 aims to establish a permanent collection of digital archives that complements and helps in fill in the gaps of the Club’s current physical collection.

We’re calling out for contributions of memorabilia, artefacts, and photos. Submissions can be digital or physical. If you wish to share the physical item, the Club team will arrange a scan or photograph of your artefact and return it to you, please reach out here.

Due to the relocation of the clubhouses and offices over the years, the Club has a spotty library of archives.

Some specific items we would like to have to build the collection and share with the community are

  • Club related items during WW2
  • Magazines prior to 1976
  • Old traditional Club Event pictures, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Fourth July, grand Club openings
  • Pictures or trophies of the Club’s sports programs, events and competition wins.

If you have time and interest and would like to help document collected items as part of an archives working group, please reach out here.

We’ll be sharing interesting submissions through all our centennial platforms, including the Club magazine, social media and more.
