The Royal Entertaining Partner's (R.E.P.) Club was a New York City all-male social club formed in 1920, and incorporated in May 1930. The club's first formal social gala, known as the Frolic, was held in 1920, and annually thereafter for the purpose of entertaining club members, their companions, and family members. Walter E. Hughes served as the club's first president. The Royal Entertaining Partner's (R.E.P.) Club records, 1960s- 1992, document the history and social gatherings of the R.E.P. Club. The collection contains correspondence, meeting minutes, membership records, rosters, financial records, guest lists, invitations, programs, pamphlets, an annual gala program booklet, and tickets.
