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 only a quarter. The club was revived to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Elvis’ homecoming concert in Tupelo in September 2006. 412 members were signed up, many of those being present at the anniversary celebration. We have over 1,200 members from around the world. Please join our Club and help us continue to contribute to charities that Elvis would have supported. Our club meetings are held monthly on the 2nd Tuesday in Shelton Hall at St. James Catholic Church, 1911 N Gloster St, Tupelo, MS @ 6:00p.m.
