The Club’s forty years of community service started when a group was formed to oppose the new proposed 1% wage tax. The group (MTCA) Montgomery Township Citizens Association met at the old Shimpstown School House. After the new proposed wage tax was passed, the MTCA was approached by The Edward Parnell Ruritan Club to be sponsored as a New Ruritan Club.

The club’s activities today include pork sales, pot pie suppers, banquets, tractor-truck pulls, Gas and Steam Show, food stands, gate collections, fruit baskets, and an Easter Egg Hunt. Special recognition goes to Ralph and Mary Rubeck for implementing the Gas & Steam Show and the pulling track.

The Club’s community service includes donations to individuals, non-profit clubs, fire, ambulance, schools, and other organization. The community building is also rented out for banquet, picnics, reunions, and receptions.
