South Bend's service clubs date to the 1910s; Lakeville has neither, and the negative is a document, not an impression. Rotary: the Rotary Club of South Bend stands in the Rotary Global History Fellowship's first-clubs record as club No. 105 in the charter list running through 1915 (its admission date garbled in the carrier); a company-profile carrier dates the club's founding to 1914 — both print, at their strengths, and they do not quarrel: a 1914 founding inside a through-1915 charter list is one fact at two precisions. Kiwanis: the Kiwanis Club of South Bend's own history page dates its service "since 28 October 1916." The township test: the banked 46536 exempt register — 34 organisations, read whole in the civic file — contains no Rotary club and no Kiwanis clubThe county men's-club limb beyond the two named internationals (Optimist, Exchange, Sertoma) was not separately dug and stands as a named residue at directory strength.
