The Igloo Kiwanis club was chartered May 22, 1945, with twenty-five members, in answer to the demand for a service club to aid in the development and advancement of the depot community.
Of the 3,408 Kiwanis service units in the U.S. and Canada it has the unique distinction of being the only one located on a military reservation. Of its charter membership only five members remain on its roster today: Russell Bohart, Reuben Veren, Edward R. Hoel, Paul F. Foss, active and Dr. Frank Bilger of Hot Springs, South Dakota, honorary.
Kiwanis is largely a cooperative organization helping other clubs, civic organizations and individuals in worthy causes and projects. Along this line, during its early years, it spark-plugged the school Milk Club while the Welfare Association provided the necessary finances. Other projects have been the sponsoring of a junior high school boy to Boys State, the Kiwa Park located north of the Community Building, an annual High School athletic banquet in cooperation, on a fifty-fifty basis, with the Vets Club and an annual High School Senior banquet when the students are guests of the club.
In October 1945 the club sponsored and managed the "Victory Parade" which was later called the Kiddies Day Parade. Since that year Kiwanis has made this an annual event.
The Club sponsored the Key Club, a high school boys organization, which has may worth-while accomplishments to its credit and each year it has sponosred a show as a Christmas treat to all the children of the depot.
The chief work objective of the club is for boys and girls, underpriviliged children and public affairs.
