HISTORY OF OUR CLUB:
The Kiwanis Club of
Monterey was chartered on October 23, 1926. Forty-one public service
minded citizens, representing a diverse array of business and the
professions, claim the honor of being charter members of the Kiwanis
Club of Monterey. Under the presidency of Albert W. Files, the
framework was laid for the many varieties of service activities now
rendered by the Club, and by the following year committees were fully
organized. Apparently all was not smooth sailing in those days for
there was a "Goodwill and Grievance " committee.
