Thanks to the efforts of this organization, the first kind of kind in history, its members - more than 35,000 American dwarfs - have benefits in obtaining work, organization of recreation and sports events and, most importantly, the ability to establish contacts with themselves like a network of special agencies. An example of Americans soon followed other countries. Today, similar clubs of dwarfs are created in Germany in Holland, Great Britain, Paraguay and Brazil.
