BY KIWANIS CLUBS First Meeting of Ori- ginal Kiwanis Club in Detroit January 21, 1915 HERE FIVE YEARS Has Meant Much to Norwalk—An Inspir-~ ation to Better Un- derstanding __ Eleven years ago today. January 21. l9l5. the initial meeting of the first Kiwanis Club was held in Dev troll. Michigan. From this begin- ning Kiwanis has spread over the United seam and Cdnhde until thorn are more than 1.450 rluba with n membership of more Hum 95 "00 men. This remarkable month has re- suilcd from the fact that Kiwanis and other service clubs such an R0. fury and Lions. are needed in every community. The motto of Kiwanis is “We Build." and every club is en- dl‘llVOl‘ll'lg in its own way to follow ~this idea in developing the public «spirit of lip members and in helping towards completion all worth-while ‘ community enterprises. Five Years. In Norwnlk. On the occasion of the 11th birth- day of the founding of Kiwanis it is interesting to recall that the Nor~ walk Kiwanis Club has now been in existence for five years. To the Kiwanians of Norwalk hose have been five fruitful'yenrs. First of all the formation of the club here brought logoiher men who are com- petitors in business. men from all sections of the city, and men of all shades of political Opinion and roll- gious faith. These men have found the weekly meetings a source of plea- sure and inspiration. They have learned to understand and be more sympathetic of the viewpoint of others? they have formed lasting friendships. and they have learned to work together for the betterment of Norwalk. Kiwanis has done much in Nor- walk for the general good of the city and its people. It has, firstly. brought the business leaders of the city to~' nether weekly to cnioy each other's company and to work together for a better Nonvalk. This is something no other organization bu accom- plished in the past. and too much emphasis cannot be given to the Im- portance of this fact. Trains For Public Scriico. Secondly. Kiwanis has provided a training ground and an inspiration for its members to answer the call for public service. For instance. the heads of the Playground Committee, the Norwalk Chapter of the Red Cross. the Board of Trade and many other local organisations are Kiwan- ians—mcn who cheerfully give their time without pay in doing a charit- able and constructive work. Again. there has been many occa- sions where Kiwanis as an organ- ization has rendered public service It is sufficient to mention the great- est of these instances. the conduct- ing of the drive to raise $80.0” for the Nurses' Home of the Norwaik (Continued on Last Page.)
