My paternal grandfather, Arnold G. Tew, Sr., was a member of various organizations and among them was the Kiwanis Club of Woonsocket, RI, which completed its organization on May 17, 1917. He was also a member of the Woonsocket, R.I. Lodge No. 850, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. One of his B.P.O.E. membership cards was recently brought to light from a box of miscellaneous materials saved by my late father.
As advised in the lower right corner of the membership card, the stated member's home address should appear on the reverse side of the card-- and indeed it does.
