Biographical / Historical
Organized in 1919, the Richmond First Club was founded by Dr. Dice R. Anderson and B. Roy Dudley, Jr. to continue the work begun by the Richmond Civic Association. Strictly non-partisan, closed to employees and officials of the city the RFC engages in objective studies of the city's government and offers suggestions for improvements. A more specific history can be found in "A Seventy-Five Year Participation in Local Government: Richmond-First Club 1919-1994" by John H. Whaley.
