Founded in 1905 as a club for creative people, the club's name stuck when members each paid their own lunch bill (or paid "dutch"). The club, still in existence, has produced an annual yearbook since 1920.

Barbra Archives tracked down this rare Streisand performance in the club's 1963 yearbook. On May 1, 1963, Dutch Treat Club members held an Annual Dinner at the Sert Room of the Waldrof-Astoria Hotel.

The yearbook contains a list of the past year’s 30 weekly meetings (there were none June through September).

Weekly meeting entertainment included performers such as Ray Bolger, Lillian Roth, Don Adams, Carol Bruce, Jerry Stiller and Ann Meara, Maurice Chevalier and Jack Benny ..... and “newcomer” Barbara [sic] Streisand.

Therefore, Barbra Archives is going to assume Barbra played the Dutch Treat Club once, sometime in late 1962 or early 1963.
