THOUGHT/QUOTE OF THE WEEK:  
     How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world! How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution toward introducing justice straightaway... And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness! — Anne Frank

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 #21:  Only chartered Kiwanis clubs are members of Kiwanis International. Each  Kiwanian  is a member of his or her club; no individual is a member of Kiwanis International.

THIS WEEK:

The final lazy days of summer are evident by the sparse attendance at our Kiwanis meeting this week.  I guess people are taking the opportunity to make the most of the vacation times before school starts.  You know, even though most of us are well past the age of having kids beginning school, we seem to be in the same mode of operation that summer ends when the kids go back to school.  What’s up with that?

We had a very informal meeting this morning with no guest speaker but plenty of sharing by members present. 

Steve Comeaux talked about the Smithsonian Journey Stories which is coming to St. Martinville.   There will be a community meeting on August 25 at the Acadian Memorial from 6-8 p.m.  Find out how you can take part!

Jim Robb was back in attendance after an absence of 6 weeks or so.  He has shingles and has been battling that since the end of June. 

Dan and Christine are representing our club at the District Convention At Sea beginning tomorrow (Thursday).  Christine will be installed as Lt. Gov. for Division 17 at this convention.  Thanks, Christine, for your willingness to serve Kiwanis and our District. 

Larry is in the process of ordering “thank you” gifts for his Kiwanis Team.  If you served on the board with Larry, please contact him so that you can share your gift wish with him.  I think he’s looking for sizes from each person. 

Hope to see you next week at the meeting!
