The Lebanon Nature Club published its first newsletter on 5 September 1934.  Frances E. Gleason was the editor through 9 October 1935, followed by George E. Moore.  Members who are noted frequently in the newsletters include Lulu Babb, Ernst Beck, Lillian Cook, W. I. Diffender­fer, A. P. Draper, Dr. and Mrs. James Hyslop, Mrs. C. F.
