Cal Nev Ha District History
Kiwanis Comes to California in May of 1917, Kiwanis came to California. The primary purpose was to
teach, in a language the average man could understand and bring to full fruition, the basic principle of an unselfish interest
in the other fellow. Just how Kiwanis came to California is a matter of historical interest. Shortly prior to May of 1917,
W.W. Widenham and Paul Jesbury of Los Angeles made trips to the East where they came into contact with Kiwanis Clubs. They
then make contact with Allen Browne, who had organized several clubs in the East. On May 16, E.F. Wescott and Alvah Stimmers
came to Los Angeles to assist in the organiztion of a Kiwanis Club.
At noon on June 6, twelve men met at the Clark Hotel
and perfected the temporary organization of the club. J.R. Miller was the temporary president and Albert Monel was the temporary
secretary. On August 24, the club elected permanent officers to serve until March 1, 1918. In September, with the membership
of about sixty, the new club adopted its Bylaws and began to plan activities.
The District was officially recognized,
with the pledge of 40 clubs in California, at the Providence Convention in June 1918, and W.W. Widenham was appointed District
Governor. On June 19, 1919, the Los Angeles Kiwanis Club, with a membership of one hundred, received its charter from International
and became the 67th club in Kiwanis International.
On March 24, 1923, Reno became affiliated with the District and the
International Board approved the California - Nevada District on December 5, 1924. The Honolulu Club was organized in May
1947, and the Island Clubs became the Hawaii Division of Kiwanis International. On May 11, 1950 the Hawaiian Division requested
affiliation with California - Nevada District. At the District Convention in Santa Cruz on October 10, 1950, the District
Board approved the request. Kiwanis International approved the request on October 29, 1950 and voted to approve the name of
California - Nevada - Hawaii District as of January 1, 1951.
