Dick Winters, a motion picture aficionado, approached Rocco about the creation of organization centered on the appreciation of the themes expressed in Rocco's motion pictures, such as the admiration of the human form, the joy of discovery, and the positive portrayal of gay intimacy. In 1968 Dick Winters formed the Society of Pat Rocco Enlightened Enthusiasts, more commonly known as SPREE; the group met monthly for nine and half years disbanding in 1978. The primarily gay male organization produced theatrical performance for each monthly meeting, which may have also included a showing of a motion picture from Rocco's collection. SPREE provided its members mentoring in writing plays; designing sets and costumes; producing, directing, and performing; editing a monthly newsletter, and a motion picture workshop. Starting in 1970, the organization recognized the contribution of its members in an annual awards show complete with a master of ceremonies, special guest presenters, and entertainment. Socially the organization went on outings to Rocco's cabin on Mount Baldy, to amusement parks, and to other attractions in California.

The records of the organization include minutes, treasurer reports, photographs, ephemera, event flyers, the newsletters, and newspaper clippings. The newsletters, SPREE News and later SPREE News Pictorial, document SPREE events and reviews of motion pictures, interviews of community leaders, and news of interest to the community. The series contains photographs and page layouts of the SPREE Awards Show for May 1971 issue, a page layout for SPREE outing to Universal Studios, and the Maggie Awards show for the June 1971 issue.

The series also includes photographs of various SPREE outings including trips to Mount Baldy, pool parties and going to out to eat. Additional photographs of SPREE outing can be found in the Photographic Series.

The series contains fliers, treatments, scripts, screenplays, submissions, photographs, and an unusual scrapbook documenting SPREE performances. The scrapbook consists of performance fliers and photographs mounted in a flocked wallpaper sample book.

The series also contains SPREE awards show programs, photographs, scripts, and screenplays. During the annual awards show an individual received the Judy Coleman Memorial Award for community services. The subseries also contains the accompanying files for the award and on the life of Judy Coleman, along with SPREE sponsored motion picture film and beauty contests files.
