Foundation of "Os Independentes"
On the 15th of July, a group of 20 young men seated at a bar in the town of Barretos, state of São Paulo, found "Os Independentes". Whoever wanted to join the club should be over 18 years of age, single and financially independent, as the intention of the group was to gather funds for assisting entities during the town`s anniversary celebrations. It was also established that the presidential term would last a year, but could be extended for a second year. For being the originator of the idea, Antonio Renato Prata is the first President.
