“Save a girl, and you save a family”,

“As a tree is bent, so shall it grow.”

The Vancouver Kiwassa Club was formed in 1934. A group
of Kiwanis wives recognized the value of youth work being done
by their husbands for boys and, knowing “girls are important too”
they formed the Kiwassa Club.

“Kiwassa” is an Indian word meaning “little sister”, and for
several years the members adopted a “little sister” giving her
guidance and help. Then in 1949 an old fire hall in the east
end of the city was converted into a girls’ club—a club in which
girls from the age of four to sixteen could partake in cooking
classes, sewing, knitting, handicrafts, drama, music, dancing, or
perhaps just drop in for a word of friendly council. It is staffed
by a director and assistant with volunteer teachers for different
classes and has an enrollment of approximately one hundred and
eight children. For the last seven years this club has proven its
-worth to such an extent that the Community Chest has seen fit
to put its mark of approval on it and to give some financial
assistance.

The greater responsibility, however, still lies with the Van-
couver Kiwassa Club. It is partly through the sale of our Signature
Recipe Book What’s Cooking? we are able to support our very
worthwhile project.

5000 copies of our original cook book have been sold. It is
now out of print. 5000 copies of this book, a new collection of
favorite signature recipes, were sold in one year. Such popular
demand has resulted in the printing of this revised edition of
What’s Cooking. Your support shares in furthering our work with
GIRLS and we hope you will enjoy this—our revised Kiwassa
Signature Recipe Cook Book.

For copies of this book, send one dollar and postage to cover
mailing costs to:
