  • 1960s Senior Old Boys (S.O.B.s) met for Bible study and breakfast.  After several years, they invited the wives to join and that turned into what is known today as the Mayfair Seniors Club, which meets four times a year for lunch and fellowship.
  • 1960s We had the 60-60 Group (a social group for couples) and the Live Wires (an evening social group for singles).
