"WE BUILD"
The aim of Kiwanis is service. Every Kiwanis club in more than nine hundred cities of the United States and Canada is actively engaged in making the world just a little bit better. This service is many-sided, yet no con-- ception of its tremendous scope can be gained save through an accurate compilation of the activities of the Kiwanis clubs over a given period.
"Kiwanis Activities" presented herewith contains a six months' resume of Kiwanis accomplishments which have been reporte~ to International Headquarters on the regular monthly report form furnished each club secretary.
Owing tb the failure of some clubs to send in their monthly reports a great number of worth while achieve- ments do not appear among those listed. There is, how- ever, sufficient material to be of unusual assistance to any club in marking out any civic program.
Although all Kiwanis club activities. are not included in the compilation, the scope of activity, the quality of service and the spirit of helpfulness presented is so com- pelling we can not pass it by without comment. It brings to us a revelation of Kiwanis power. It is a true exem- . plification of
"WE BUILD.''
