LOCK HAVEN The Kiwanis Club of Lock Haven is celebrating its 95th anniversary!
In 1926, the local chapter began just 11 years after Kiwanis International was founded in 1915 by a group of businessmen in Detroit, Mich. The organization was originally called the Supreme Lodge Benevolent Order of Brothers, but changed its name to Kiwanis a year later. Kiwanis International is a global community of clubs, members and partners dedicated to improving the lives of children one community at a time. The name “Kiwanis” was coined from an American Indian expression, “Nunc Kee-wanis,” which means, “We trade.”
