Kiwanis Newspaper Sale: Ashley Clague at University Hospital, May 1938

Kiwanis Newspaper Sale: Ashley Clague at Hospital.The Kiwanis Club has been in Ann Arbor since May of 1921. Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers, dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time. In 1922, the club began working with the University of Michigan Hospital to provide recreation and education for children staying there. The club began raising money through thrift sales in 1927. Sales were held mostly at the National Guard Amory until 1968, when the club bought the building now known as the Kiwanis Activity Center (KAC). Proceeds raised from thrift sales and other fund-raising efforts have enabled the club to fund activities of many charitable organizations and to carry out several special projects.
