Description
This is a guide to the Records of the Kiwanis Club of Roanoke. The records are divided into four sections, some of which are subdivided by record type. There are some gaps in the record, but overall the records are fairly complete.
The first section, Club Records, contains meeting minutes and annual reports, along with The Kiwanis News weekly newsletter. These records provide an excellent and detailed record of the club’s activities. There is also a nearly complete set of annual membership rosters, three of which have photos of the members, as well as notes and correspondence from one Club president.
The second section, Committee Records, contains committee notes for some of the standing committees. This section is mostly more recent records, and mostly contains selection notes from the Scholarship Committee in the 1980s and 90s.
The third section, Historical Information and General Roanoke Club Records, contains information about the Club’s history. There are maps, brochures, correspondence and deeds for Camp Kiwanianna, a summer camp for girls run by the Club from the 1940s to the 1960s. There are also general records, including newspaper clippings about members in the 1970s and assorted event programs, and photographs of Club events (often unidentified.)
The fourth and last section, District and International Records, contains some material about the Kiwanis Club International and activities as part of the Capital District. There are Capital District convention programs (some of the conventions were hosted in Roanoke), and a history of the District in the 1920s. There are also ribbons and patches from conventions.
