The Veritans Club
The Veritans Club of Paterson was an organization started in 1926 by a group of 35 Paterson men with the purpose of getting together to enjoy life while servicing the community. The club would hold functions to raise funds for local hospitals, nursing homes, high school athletics and many other community needs. One of their main achievements was the sponsorship of “Camp Veritans” which was inaugurated in 1928. Their most famous fund-raising event was the annual “Boat Ride,” but they sponsored other outings to such places as the Concord Hotel, Grossinger’s Country Club, and of course, Camp Veritans. Below are selected photos of participants of the Veritans Club. Please help us identify the names, dates and where these photos were taken.
