THOUGHT/QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
  Knowledge speaks,
            but wisdom listens. 
                            --Jimi Hendrix 

The Fifth Object of Kiwanis:  To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities. 

Kiwanis Education #30:  Key Club International is Kiwanis’ oldest continuing youth-service program. The first Key Club “for key boys” was organized by the Kiwanis Club of Sacramento, California, in 1925. The concept of a service club for high school students spread to other Kiwanis clubs, and Key Club became an official program of Kiwanis International by 1942. Today, more than 200,000 young men and women belong to Key Clubs in more than 4,500 high schools throughout the US, Canada, and a growing number of other nations. Key  Club International is run largely by its members, who conduct conventions and elect officers each year at the district and International levels. 

THIS WEEK: 
Sorry for the short bulletin.  I’m stretched too far this week.  Just wanted to tell you a few important things –

If you would like to go to Mid Winter which is being held in Lafayette on January 17, please let Gerry or Dennis know.  (394-9396)

Jean and Peggy are hosting the Superbowl party and the cost is $5 per person.  Guests are not only welcomed, they are encouraged. 

Gerry (in her capacity as Lt. Gov.) is stressing the importance of each member inviting someone to join Kiwanis.  Not only will we not get burned out by having to do everything ourselves, but more importantly, we will give other people the opportunity to have the rewarding experience of making a difference in the lives of children.   

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!  Now that the New Year is upon us, let’s get our act together, take down the Christmas decorations and get set for a great year in Kiwanis!

Remember: We have a lot of fish to fry... in Kiwanis!
