Club History

The Kiwanis Club of Union City was chartered September 28, 1939, under the sponsorship of the Dyersburg, Tennessee club. The first president was Milton Hamilton, Sr., County Superintendent of Schools. Robert Ashton Everett, Circuit Court Clerk (later our congressman), was elected as vice-president. H. P. Moss was named secretary and Clint Adams treasurer. The meetings were held Tuesday nights at 6:30.

Our club is a part of Division 1-A of the Louisiana-Mississippi-West Tennessee District of Kiwanis International. There are 22 Lieutenant Governors in our district, one for each division. Division 1-A includes Dyersburg, Martin, McKenzie, South Fulton, Trenton, Tiptonville and Union City. Our present Lieutenant Governor is Debbie Urban of the Dyersburg Club. Past Lieutenant Governors from our club include Brown Kendall, Robert Gibson, Myrtle Harton, Francis Lin and Bob Nichols.

We are proud of our rich Kiwanis heritage and the service we provide to our community. We celebrated our 65th anniversary on September 28, 2004 with a special anniversary banquet. One of our members, Robert Wood, has been an active member for over 50 years.
