On This Day: Kiwanis celebrates 100 years

  Kiwanis International is celebrating 100 years today. The international organization was founded On This Day in 1915 in Detroit . While its original focus was business networking, the focus shifted in 1919 to service. Women were invited to join in 1987. The college age branch is known as Circle K International. The high school group of called Key Club.     On This Day is a prompt I started this month to further explore historical events. I will make every effort to keep events localized to that of my research or research I am conducting for others. However, from time to time, it will simply be a subject that captured my attention. Some posts will be brief while others may be more detailed.                  © Jeanne Ruczhak-Eckman, 2015
