The History of Our Club

About Us
The Tupelo Elvis Presley Fan
Club began in 1956, when
Barbara Martin Mallory, Ann
Brandon Walker, Doris Brandon
Richey, Jett Scott Smith and
Shirley Clayton decided to
form an Elvis Presley Fan Club.  
They called themselves, "The
Elvis Presley Sweethearts."  
Membership to join the club
was a quarter.  The club was
revived to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of Elvis'
homecoming concert in
Tupelo in September 1956.  We
signed up 412 members, many
of those being present at the
anniversary celebration.  We
have over 500 members from
around the world.
We extend a cordial welcome
to anyone who wants to join
our club.  
We extend a cordial welcome to anyone who wants to join

music, movies and works of Elvis Presley in a respectful
manner; to promote Tupelo as the Birthplace of Elvis
Presley; to honor Elvis Presley, through charity efforts and
to help grow a new generation of Elvis Presley fans.  
Our club meetings are held monthly on the 1st Tuesday at the
