The History of our Club
Kiwanis in Oshkosh began on August 3, 1917, when Hal P. Denton, a Kiwanis
district organizer from Cleveland, Ohio came to Oshkosh to organize a Kiwanis club in Oshkosh.
Denton's first convert in Oshkosh was an osteopath, Dr. L. H. Noordhoff. These
two men then signed up a dozen other businessmen by September 13, 1917, when the club was first organized on a temporary basis.
The organization lunchoen was held in a small upstairs sample room of the
old Tremont Hotel, which then stood on the northwest corner of State And Waugoo Streets where the Oshkosh National Bank now
has its drive-in. The temporary President was Charles C. Konrad, Assistant Cashier of the New Americn Bank, the temporary
Secretary was H. A. Henkel, a partner in the insurance agency of West, Nevitt and Henkel.
