The affiliate was mentioned in a newspaper article from July 1984, where seventeen Libertarians marched in the rain for liberty, accompanied by seven police officers. [[W. Alan Burris]] served as Vice Chair at the time. The party faded in the early 1990s, based on a statement from Bruce Voris in a 2000 newspaper article upon the formation of the second incarnation of the party.
