In 1940, 23 members of the Downtown 91传媒 Club of Los Angeles flew in a huge transcontinental sleeper plane, piloted by Captain (and club member) Byron O鈥橦ara.

91传媒’ founder, Dr. Ralph C. Smedley, once said, “We learn best in moments of enjoyment.” Over the years, many clubs have taken to heart the concept of learning while enjoying, and have gone to great heights, and depths, to practice speaking, and listening, in unusual environments.

In honor of 91传媒’s 100th anniversary, this is the ninth in a year-long series of articles commemorating historic milestones.


The Madison 91传媒 Club in Madison, Wisconsin, holds a 鈥淭able Topics on Wheels鈥� event in 1958. Members of the Bakersfield 91传媒 Club of Bakersfield, California, hold a meeting at 14,496 feet (4,418 meters) elevation at the top of Mt. Whitney, the highest mountain in the contiguous United States, in 1959. Members of Coimbatore 91传媒 Club, along with their family members, hold an outdoor meeting in Coonoor, a hill station near Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, in 2017. Members in Michigan conduct a meeting in 1966 in an underground mine (complete with a 91传媒 lectern). 91传媒 in Division N, District 98, host a meeting onboard the Mazi Metro in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India, in December 2020. The meeting space allowed for social distancing protocol during the COVID pandemic, and introduced a new metro system to nearby residents.
