FALLBROOK — Tom Myers, president of the Fallbrook Kiwanis Club, announced that International Kiwanis was celebrating their 90th anniversary. The first Kiwanis Club was charted in Detroit, MI. There are 8,200 clubs with 280,000 members in 94 countries around the world. The Fallbrook Kiwanis Club was chartered on October 12, 1971.
