The Kiwanis Club of Pocatello was chartered in August, 1920, by the Salt Lake City Kiwanis Club. It was the first Kiwanis Club organized in the Gem State of Idaho; preceding the Boise club by about one week.  Over the years it has accomplished "lots" of projects, raised "lots" of money for community service and youth projects, and has had "lots" of members.  The club  met in the Bannock Hotel (on South Arthur St) for many years until that building was razed in the 1960's.  The club met at the Cotton Tree Inn restaurant for several years, and also at the Juniper Hills Country Club.  It currently meets on Tuesday noon at Perkins Restaurant, 1600 Pocatello Creek Road.

Our club  has produced one governor for the Utah-Idaho District of Kiwanis.   Recent  Lt. Governors include Carl Raymond, Russ Weight,  and Chuck Humphrey.
