Bavarian Sports Club

By 1930 the Toledo area's huge Germanic population already boasted five German and three Swiss Vereine, all established between 1867 and 1926. They were the Teutonia Mannerchor, Toledo Swiss Society, Toledo Swiss Ladies Society, Toledo Swiss Singers, Toledo Schwaben Unterstutzungsverein, German (now Greater) Beneficial Union, and American Turners. There was even a Bavarian club, Bayerischer Unterstutzungsverein, a social club established to aid members financially when they were sick and could not work.
