     In the fall of 1988, five friends joined together to form a club of people called Rangers, inc., whose interest was in Leather, Levi's and Uniforms.
     The goals of the charter members were as follows: to promote the leather/uniform spirit, to support the needs of the larger community and the charitable organizations that help fulfil those needs, and to strenghten the leather/uniform community of Northeast Ohio.
     The Rangers' logo (club patch) has five stars, representing the five founding members. The colors are registered with the State of Ohio as a Service Mark. The club is chartered with the State of Ohio as a tax exempt social club (501 C 7).
     Since 1989 the Rangers have had a strong commitment to the fight against AIDS. Through many bar events in Cleveland and Akron, the club has raised and donated around $20,000 to area charities. Whenever the club does an out-of-town bar event, they donate the proceeds to the local charities. The Rangers have received awards in both Akron and Cleveland for their charity work.
     As part of the uniform scene, the Rangers were affiliated with the A.U.A. This affiliation remained until the A.U.A. became defunct. The Rangers held the Annual A.U.A. Review in October of 1996. This review brought in people from all over the US. Also in attendance were people from Germany, England, and the Netherlands. Since the A.U.A. is no longer active, the Rangers have replaced their old "Park Ranger" uniforms with new ones reflecting the leather aspect of the club.
     The Rangers have participated in and held runs as part of the M.A.C.C. (Mid-American Conference of Clubs). In 1992 and 1993 the Rangers hosted runs in Cleveland. Many of the Rangers have traveled to other cities for their club's runs. Some of the runs that the Rangers support are as follows: The Centurians of Columbus, Panthers of Atlanta, Gateway MC of St. Louis, Conductors of Nashville, and Pittsburgh MC of Pittsburgh. Many individual Rangers have been attending runs across the country. Club participation awards have been bestowed upon the Rangers by some of the aforementioned clubs.
     The Rangers have established excellent working relations with the clubs of Northeast Ohio., All the clubs have worked to coordinate their event calendars. The purpose of this is to further support each other by being able to attend each other's events. Along with the other local clubs, the Rangers have hosted an All-Club Bar Night, which raised over $1,000 to support the gay community centers of Akron and Cleveland.
     The members of the Rangers remain committed to their stated goals, as reflected in their current events calendar.
