The following article appeared in the Pittsburgh Press on January 18, 1947.

Kiwanis Club of Avalon-Bellevue
The meeting of the Kiwanis on January 20, was devoted to "Education of Kiwanis and Their Objectives for 1947." The program was very capably handled by our chairman, James Fleming, and assisted by Lynn Menold and George Wanner. George Caves was accepted as a new member at this meeting. We also had three visitors, Rev. William E. Collins, W. H. Barker, and Chester England.
January 20 to 25, 1947, is the 32nd anniversary of the Kiwanis Clubs.
With over 2,5000 clubs engaged in one co-ordinated effort it can be truly said of Kiwanis that "We Build for Peace-Patriotism-Opportunity."
At our next meeting on January 27, we will have as guest speaker James S. Robinson, director of Hill City Youth Municipality, who has accomplished great work in this locality.

*Blogger Black Buzz was a Charter Member of the historic Uptown Hill Kiwanis which was started in 1977.
