Finding YOUR Club Genealogy

The first clubs were organized by Kiwanis International Field Representatives
(Building Communities, Book 1, pages 76, 77) " E.F. Wescott, one of the vetern organizers, was hired as the new Extension Department's first director, and two other former "organizers' rejoined staff as "field representatives," a preferred title. These "field reps," who worked on commission and grew to thirty in number by July 1920, were totally responsible for new-club building - with cooperation from district governors. A field rep stayed with a new club until it could functon independently. This practive, however, did not work well, and soon volunteer Kiwanians were helping the field reps build clubs successfully."
