The current series of Kiwanis bulletins was established in 1951. These publications are now a regular part of the organization identity. Prior to 1959, the bulletins were titled the Kiwanis Bull and the Kiwanis Missile. They took their permanent name “Kiwanis Telstar” in 1959. The name was chosen in recognition of the pioneer, earth-orbiting communications satellite then being prepared for launch. Contents include calendar of events; announcements; special programs; membership, Foundation, and district news, committee reports, and trivia. By 2002, over ninety percent of the Club’s membership had direct access to computer technology, making it possible for the weekly Telstar to be distributed to most of its members through email

Also included in this collection are fourteen volumes of the Club’s Directory and an 80th Anniversary brochure. The Directories include a brief club history, short biographical sketches and photographs of members, and miscellaneous club information
