The clubs have also served as an incubator where the future leaders of the community have learned about civic affairs, and derived the desire and the abil- ity to lead their fellow citizens. Following are brief reviews of the various service clubs: Westmount Kiwanis Club The Westmount Kiwanis Club began m November 1959 when it broke away and was spon- sored by the Oshawa Kiwanis Club. The club started with 32 mem bers and in eight years has in- creased its membership to 42. The club's first president was Joseph Schmitz. The club which meets weekly at the Adelaide House has al- ready won international acclaim twice when they were voted as the best overall club in their category. \for Oshawa in 1928 was $310 dur- One District Governor Robert Stroud in 1960 has come from the Westmount club and in 1965 Henry Reed a former president was chosen as District Lt. Gov- ernor. Again this year a West- mount Kiwanian Robert Branch is serving the district as Lt.| Governor. | The main Westmount project is a weekly tour involving three members cars to take the citi- zens of Hillsdale Manor on trips in the country. The club also sponsors a Sat- urday morning boys program at the Boys' Club and Settlement House providing managementjand lacrosse in Oshawa. and equipment in a basketball league. In season Westmount mem- bers sponsor lacrosse and minor hockey teams. A sum of about $2,000 is spent annually in their annually in their youth fitness programs. The 1967 Westmount Kiwanis Club executive comprises; presi- dent Robert Singleton, first vice president Bud Moore, second vice president Stan Finbow, sec- retary Myron Shestowski and treasurer Arnold Commer Oshawa Kiwanis Club To give, to encourage, to pro- mote, to develop, to provide and to co-operate this is the motto of the Kiwanis Club. The Oshawa Kiwanis Club was incorporated in October, 1929 and its first president A. J. Parkhill remains an active member. Over the years the Kedron Kiwanis Camp has become synonymous with this organiza- tion. The mainspring of the Kiwanis program is youth de- velopment and the camp was purchased in the early thirties by the club. Over the years thousands of Oshawa children, whether they could afford it or not, have! spent part of their summer at! the camp. Each year between 300 and 400 youngsters avail themselves of the facilities. The group of Kiwanians has swelled from 25 members 38 years ago to 115 active mem- bers today. Besides the camp, which received a new recreation | centre two years ago and is available to outsiders the Osh- awa Kiwanis Club has tackled many other programs during the years. i The club sponsors minor hockey and baseball in the city and regularly chaperones and advises the Get Together Club of high school teenagers. Kiwanis also presents annual high school scholarships and music bursaries. For a number of years the club has sponsored the winter "travelogue" series and as a centennial project this year sponsored the popular "Le Feux Follets." The 1967 executive of the Osh- awa Kiwanis includes; Presi- dent Donald Moore, first vice president Allan Cay, second vice president Ian McNab, secretary Arthur Berry, treasurer Donald Sullivan and past president Fred Kitchen. Rotary Club In the 47 years it has been in existence the Rotary Club of Oshawa has spent thousands of dollars to assist crippled chil- dren in the community. This re- habilitation work has been tre club's main activity since its formation in 1920. The first meeting of the club was held March 10, 1920, in Welsh's Parlors with a group of the members of the Toronto club as advisors. The new club, consisting of 25 charter mem- bers, of whom four are still alive, received its charter, May 7, 1920. After sponsoring boys' camps and youth work, the club con- ducted its first crippled chil- dren's clinic in 1922. Public co- operation and financial aid, at 'Centre, building and equipping were operated by the Com- munity Recreation Association. Rotary Cottage in Lakeview Park was built in 1927 and used to provide a holiday outing for children from the Children's Aid Shelter. Rotary Hall, located in Rotary Park, with its board room and auditorium, has been used for some 30 years by the Canadian Legion, Boy Scouts, Navy Cadets, Little Theatre, St. John Ambulance and the air cadets. Three members have been honored by serving as district governors. They are the late Dr. Grant L. Bird, Stanley F. Ever- son and Edward G. Storie. During its existence the club organized Rotary clubs in Port Hope, Bowmanville and Whitby and, with Whitby and Pickering, helped organize the club at Ajax. Kinsmen Club } Over $300,000 has been spent by the Oshawa Kinsmen Club on various community projects since its inception 39 years ago. The annual Kinsmen budget ing this Centennial year the club hopes to spend $40,000. The 1928 budget raised by the club's 20 initial members under President Dr. L. E. Hubbell was used for children's shelters, chil- dren's carnival and a Christmas Cheer fund.

Oshawa Lions Next year the Oshawa Lions Club will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. For the past 19 years this service club has been engaged primarily in the welfare of the city's blind. Eye operations, examinations and glasses for people not covered by the CNIB will drain the Lions' treasury of an ex- pected $2,000 to $3,000 during Centennial year. The club also expects to pur- chase additional "talking books" for the city's blind. Today the Lions Club has almost 50 members meeting every second Tuesday at the Genosha Hotel for a dinner and a speaker or business session. For the past three years the local Lions have also con- tributed to the Lake Joseph Camp, a summer camp for the blind.
