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 #6:   

The first president of Kiwanis International was George F. Hixson of the Rochester, New York club.  He was elected at the first convention in Cleveland in 1916 and re-elected the next year. He is the only International President to serve for two terms. The Hixson Fellowship of the Kiwanis International Foundation is named in his honor; Hixson medals are presented to donors who have contributed at least $1,000 to the Hixson Endowment Fund or the Worldwide Service Project.

THIS WEEK: 
    George Choplin of the St. Martinville Knights of Columbus was our guest speaker this week.  George spoke about the annual Christmas Parade which the KCs sponsor each year in conjunction with St. Lucy Festival of Lights at St. Martin de Tours Catholic Church. 

Larry thanked:
     Steve for the project of contacting the absentees.  Members will get new contacts each week.

     KRIS readers who give hope to the slower students.
     To our speaker getters, Elaine and Margaret.

Board meeting was set for Feb. 18 at 6:30 p.m.  Only 4 people were in attendance.  No business was conducted.

Our club is actively seeking someone to chair the Pepper Festival.  The Pepper Festival generates the monies with which we run our year of projects.  We cannot live up to our potential of “… changing the world one child and one community at a time …” if we don’t raise the funds we need to do so.

With all of the subcommittees in place, the chair position is a piece of cake!  But, there are timelines that need to be met and we need to begin now.  Please consider stepping up to take a turn at this chairmanship.  You have so many past chairs who will be willing to assist you along the way.  Contact Larry Roy to volunteer.
