The Kiwanis Club of Norway-Paris officially began on a coin toss to determine a name. Norway won and the Norway-Paris club began a tradition of weekly luncheon meetings that has survived 75 years.Irving Barrows, the last chapter member who lived into his nineties, recalled that the club was originally suggested as a way to bring the rival business and professional factions of the two towns together. It worked, and after the club was formed, friendships developed and a strong sense of one community grew stronger
