THE more than 825
Kinsmen, Kinette and
Kin clubs across
Canada will be cele-
brating the 77th
anniversary of the
founding of their all-
Canadian association

pating in a variety of
special activities.

Hamilton by the late Harold
A. Rogers following his return
from World War I, Kinsmen
and Kinette Clubs of Canada
last year donated more than
$23.3 million. to community
projects.

Kinsmen & Kinette Clubs
of Canada, the largest nation-
al service organization in
Canada, has approximarely
12,000 members between the
ages of 19 to 45. The associa-
tion’s motto is “Serving the
Community’s Greatest
Need”, and cach club is
responsible for deciding how
to spend the local fuiids raised
by its members. The clubs
also undertake hands-on ser-
vice activities, ranging from:
constructing playgrounds to
organizing social outings for
senior citizens.

Clubs in approximately
500 cities, towns and villages
~— the North Shore included
— are taking part in tomor-

row's celebrations.

Furthermore, the ciubs
have also requested that the
week of February 16-22 be
designated “Kinsmen /
Kinette Week” to pay tribute
to the hundreds of thousands
of young men and women
who have served their com-
munities as members of the
association during the past 77
years.
