Kiwanis Club of Steilacoom : HistoryThe Kiwanis club of Steilacoom was first conceived in 1993 to meet the goals of community service and outreach. MG John Hemphill, USA Ret, Wolf Fletter, Terry Hulin, Dick Muri, John Inselman, and others realized that our community did not have a community service organization and researched to find which one would most fulfill the needs of the citizens of Steilacoom. Because of its vibrant community service programs, especially those targeted directly toward the future of our community and children, Kiwanis was selected as the organization that would best meet the needs of the community. Early in 1993 the first exploratory meetings were held and after much hard work the charter was presented in late 1993. Thanks to the generosity of charter member Rosa Kreger, for many years the meetings were held at The Bair Drug and Hardware on Lafayette -- in old town Steilacoom. In 2002 a decision was made to hold regular meetings at the Steilaccom High School library; in part to facilitate the participation of teachers, school officials, and our Key Club members.
Our club has been blessed with many fine members and officers over the years and we take pride in the fact that everyone has been willing to take their turn in leadership roles. We are particulary pleased that we have never had to call on the same person more than once to serve as club president. This is a testiment to the commitment to service our members display.
