Welcome to the Home Page of the Cosmopolitan Columbia Luncheon Club. Please look around, we want you to know us better. We are a not-for-profit service club dedicated to making life better for all Boone County Residents.
The Luncheon Club was chartered on April 24, 1947, when a group of World War II
Veterans under the direction of J. W. Ficklin, a Columbia grocer, decided to start a new
Community Service Organization.
Known as the "Club That Fights Diabetes" Cosmopolitan's motto concisely
expresses the goals and ideals of the organization:
"Unity, Service, and Action"
To develop UNITY - by the collective action of the
membership within the community for the betterment of all.
To SERVE others - by assisting others to obtain a more fruitful, productive,
and happier lifestyle through the path of unselfish service.
To take ACTION - which will contribute to community well-being and
accomplish the defined goals of the club in order that all may live
in a better world.
