"The Kiwi Award of
Merit” - “A New Zealand visitor to New York in 1962
became impressed with the activities of our Kiwi organization. On
his return to New Zealand, he arranged for a Kiwi bird to be carved
from native New Zealand wood and mounted on a wooden base. A silver
plaque was placed on the base. Through TEAL Airlines, he presented
the bird to the Kiwi organization at our 1964 convention, with the
recommendation that our organization decide how the award should be
used."
Your National Board (1963) decided it should be
a special good neighbor award, presented as a salute to chapters
that have performed the most outstanding services toward unifying
their communities during each two-year period between National
conventions.
