The Saratoga Torch Club stands at a compelling intersection of tradition and innovation. We are part of the International Association of Torch Clubs, a respected organization founded in Minneapolis in 1924 by William Bullock to foster intellectual exchange across professions and disciplines. From that original circle of thinkers, the network has grown into more than 50 clubs nationwide.

Founded in 2015, the Saratoga chapter grew steadily until the pandemic, and we are now re-emerging with renewed purpose. As we rebuild, we’re embracing the connective technologies that make deeper dialogue possible—supporting conversations not only around our monthly dinner tables, but also through digital forums that extend engagement beyond the room.
