Board Meeting.

President Rosengarten sent a sign-up sheet for Freedom Days workers around. We need 12 volunteers to work a total of 2 hours each.

We talked about the possibility of starting a satellite club and decided to table the subject until Fall.

This was our first meeting at CJ's and thing went quite well. We do, however, need a flag since the old one belonged to Romer's. Marge will ask Chris Carroll to see if WalMart wants to donate one.

Gas card drawing: Doug Foulkes and Carol Young.








 

Kiwanis Education.

11. From 1915 to 1919, the organization of new Kiwanis clubs was managed by a professional organizer, Allen Simpson Browne, who can be credited with creating Kiwanis. In return for building new clubs, he received a portion of every new membership fee. This arrangement led to increasing controversy about the purpose and control of the organization. The problem was solved when Kiwanis International “bought itself” from Browne at the 1919 convention in Birmingham, Alabama. Club delegates raised $17,500 on the convention floor to purchase Browne's rights to the Kiwanis name and organization.

Quotes.
