The West Indian Social Club was founded in 1990 by a group of 18 young men from Jamaica who decided to continue one of our traditions, playing dominoes weekly. They played at various addresses until they found a central location at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Brooks in Kansas City, Missouri, which they named “Headquarters.” Mr. Brooks earned the title of Commissioner, and he was then asked to formulate and enforce the rules for domino playing. He also served as the club’s Sports Director. In May 1990, the domino players recognized a need to take the club in a different direction and invited women associated with the West Indian (Caribbean) community by birth or marriage to a special meeting. From this meeting, the West Indian Social Club began to trend upwards. Later that year, 8 women joined the organization, some of whom are still members. That increased the membership to 26, with Mr. Hugh McCleary presiding as President and Mr. Ortega Johnson serving as our treasurer. The club was fully organized in 1993.
