"The club wasn't originally set up to raise money, it just happened," says Don Crothers. a member of the Kiwanis Club of Oshawa which _ originated "Get." Kiwanis established the club Collegiate to provide a place for teen-agers to dance with sponsorship and supervision. Three members of the service club attend the dancs each week as overseers. ADVISERS : "Students have a lot of fun and learn a lot about -<caponsi- bility and organization. We are proud to be associated with this group of young people," said Mr. Crothers. Mr. Crothers said members of the youth club =r totally responsible for the, smooth oper- ation of the club and that the Kiwanis club merely acts in an advisory capacity.
