International, was also honored
by the Freedoms Foundation.
Key Club received a George
Washington Honor Medal Award
for "a seven point youth program
to cultivate creative citizenship.”
According to Ronnie Brooks,
“The Freedoms Foundation
Award has long enjoyed the
same stature in the community
service field as the ‘Oscar’ en
joys in the motion picture field
and the ‘Emmy’ in the televi
sion field.”
The Kiwanis International
award came to the organization
because of its overall program of
community service work carried
on by nearly 258,000 members in
4700 clubs. The work covered the
fields of Agriculture and Con
servation, Boys and Girls Work,
Public and Business Affairs,
Support of Churches in Their
Spiritual Aims and Vocational
Guidance. Specific programs of
the organization which helped
win the award were U.S.—Can
ada Good Will Week, the Teach
er Recruitment program, Na
tional Farm-City Week, Kids’
Day, Ballot Battalion (a program
urging that citizens inform
themselves, register and vote),
support of National Radio
Month, National Newsp ape r
Week, and National Television
Week, and the organization’s
efforts on behalf of the mentally
ill. traffic safety, senior citi
zens, and juvenile delinquency.
Tn all of these fields President
Foust said, the Kiwanis Club of
Forest Park has been active. He
pointed out that the Freedoms
Foundation award was based on
the community service record of
all Kiwanis clubs in all parts of
the nation.
