Kiwanians get history lesson

Jan Sinclair, secretary of the Blytheville Kiwanis Club, provided a glimpse of the club's history on Aug. 13 at the club's meeting. Sinclair said the Kiwanis Club was founded in Detroit on Jan. 21, 1915. John R. Button is the Kiwanis International president, and the president-elect is Susan A. Petrisin of the Michigan District. Much of what Sinclair talked about, including Key Club International and Circle K International, was taken from Kiwanis, the magazine of the Kiwanis Club. She is pictured with club President Billy Holifield.
