Welcome to Jack Kidd Council 755 Web Site!
About Jack Kidd Council #755, Saint John, NB
Our Motto is "People helping People".
The Saint John Council 755, now called Jack Kidd Council, was chartered in 1950 by 26 members, led by Jack Kidd. One of Jack’s first initiatives was to organize Little League Baseball which we are proud to have founded and supported continuously since that time. When Jack passed away in 1995, Saint John Council was renamed to Jack Kidd Council 755.
United Commercial Travelers is a fraternal benefit organization, founded in Ohio in 1888, by a group of traveling salesmen. The goal was to provide protection for the families and widows of the salesmen, as they had no other form of insurance.
Today UCT is still basically an insurance organization; but, more and more, and particularly in Canada, people join the organization for the fraternalism. Our main function now is to raise money and to use that money to help the Intellectually Disabled, youth, cancer victims and others in society in need of assistance.
