Show 6 lakeside Review, Wednesday, August 23, 1989 Lack of support forces Clinton Kiwanis to disband tilNTON Struggling for niany years to maintain club membership, the Clinton Kiwanis Club is disbanding after seven years of community service. Kent Johnston, Clinton Kiwanis president, attributes the dissolving to lack of community support, explaining, people want to hear about it, but not join it. .Johnston told the city council at its Aug. 8 meeting that the club couldnt function properly with the drop in membership this year from 10 people to five. Its difficult for five members to carry the burden of the program, Johnston told the council in his emotional resignation. I appreciate all the help the city has given us and feel badly about what has transpired. Johnston believes the decrease in membership from 25 members when it was founded to 5 is due t members moving out of the area, deaths, and members involvement with personal, rel- and political commitments. He also feels the club didnt solicit new members the way it should have. Initially, the club needed 25 people to become chartered in 1982. Former mayor Dennis Smith, club instigator along with Ben Adams, Clearfield Kiwanis president, compiled a list of podoor-to-do- members and went to solicit members. or BUDGET PRICING ON OVER 4600 MOVIES! O Lakeside Review tential s) - OHERI REED igious, OPEN EVERY DAY UNTIL 9 P.M. We kept this membership going for two years, but in the last five years we dwindled down to 10 members, Johnston said. This year we dropped to five. Originally, the idea for an orga- nization in Clinton that was totally dedicated to community service, where people from different backgrounds could work together, was Smiths brainchild. When I was put in as mayor it was obvious to me we needed some kind of service club in Clinton. We didnt have enough city, employees or tax money, Smith said. Smith chose the Kiwanis Club d clubs over other that any money explaining earned from must go back to the community.

One of the first projects completed was installation of a brick drinking fountain at Clinton City Park. A favorite yearly fun way the club brightened peoples lives. Kiwanis member i ; Dennis Simonsen, a professional Santa Claus, donated one night each year to this project, , ston said. Other projects the club has contributed to are sending youth to national science fairs and FHA conventions, donating or raising money for annual events such as the senior citizens dinner, the local Miss Clinton Teen Pageant, the yearly Easter egg hunt, the Childrens Miracle Pageant, and the Special Olympic program. As a last gesture of community support at the Aug. 8 city council meeting Johnston presented the city with four checks totalling $450 to be donated to the Clinton recreation department for use of the recreation center for its meetings, the Easter egg hunt, the McGruff program, and the Miss Clinton Teen Pageant.

In 1983, the Clinton Kiwanis started an annual rabies clinic in conjunction with local veterinarians clinics. For $5 residents could bring their pet in for a rabies shot. Another community service project the club sponsored was sending diabetic youth to a special camp at Mirror Lake in the Uintas. Five youth between the age of 8 to 16 learned how to adjust to living with diabetes. This camp let them know theyre not alone, Johnston said. Each year the Kiwanis sponsor race the Sherm Wayment throw at Clinton and a speed-ba- ll City Fun Days to fund the youth diabetes camp.

"Service clubs in general are struggling. They take more time than most people can handle or desire to take, said Layton Kiwanis Club president Ted Day. It takes time to raise and support a family, and more time to support a service club; so if something needs to be eliminated, its the service club, Day said.
