IBM’s Quarter Century Club honours employees who have attained 25 years of service with the company.
The first gathering of the Quarter Century Club took place on June 21, 1924 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Some 42 IBMers joined the Club as charter members that day, including 15 men with 30 or more years in IBM and its predecessor companies.
Over the years local Chapters of the Quarter Century Club (QCC) were established in various countries and regional centres to foster networking and social events for members and their partners
The Melbourne Chapter supports around 300 QCC members living in Victoria and Tasmania. Annual dinners are held to induct newly qualified members and a mid-year luncheon is scheduled in conjunction with our Annual General Meeting.
Hi All, we have created a short survey for members to respond to in relation to potential ways we can encourage participation, even in these socially-distanced times. The survey is web-based (free Surveymonkey account) and you can access and complete it by going to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NZH8VFF
Will also bombard you via email.
Thank you in advance for your support!
Doug Parke
Secretary

We received the following message from a resident of one of the apartments at 221 Sturt Street. If you have any information that can assist Robin, please contact him directly or post your comments below.
“I live in an apartment in the former IBM building at 221 Sturt ST. As an historian, am currently writing a piece about the construction of the building and its subsequent remodelling. Am having trouble finding the names of the architects who designed the building and any images of it when constructed. Am hoping that members of your club can help and would appreciate any assistance.
Hopefully Robin
