In 1920, the town of Bowling Green had about 5,800 people. BGSU was known as BG Normal College and had about 4 or 5 buildings. There were interurban, or railway cars, that traveled Main and Wooster Streets.
It was in this year that the Bowling Green Noon Kiwanis club was formed and chartered. The club was chartered on December 23, 1920, and was officially presented in February 1921. Our club was the 25th club in Ohio and the 359th club in the nation. The first president of the Bowling Green Club was A.B. Conklin, a school teacher and later the dean of students at BGSU.
The club had 86 members in its beginning years and throughout the years, has maintained membership levels of over 100. These members have built a legacy of service and fellowship which continues to this day. Today there are over 200 clubs in the state and over 8,500 clubs in 80 nations across the world!
