Biographical / Historical
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Kiwanis Club of Ventura County was organized in 1927. Their name was later changed to the Pango Club due to restrictions on the use of the name "Kiwanis" set forth by the by-laws and constitution of Kiwanis International. The first meeting of the advisory board of the newly minted Pango Club was held on February 20, 1928 in the home of Marguerite Conklin. Katie Sue Ogilvie was voted in as chair, Louise Hedley as Secretary, Minnie Spafford as Vice President, Florence Cole as Treasurer. The purpose of the Pango Club was to "promote sociability and friendliness among its members".
