THOUGHT/QUOTE OF THE WEEK:  
    Enjoy present pleasures in such
        a way[O75] as not to injure future ones.
                                 – Seneca

The Fourth Object of Kiwanis: To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.
 

Kiwanis Education #54:    An inter-club meeting is one which is jointly planned and held by two or more Kiwanis clubs, or by a Kiwanis club and any Kiwanis Junior, Circle K club, Key Club, Builders Club, K-Kids, and/or Aktion Club and duly announced as such in advance through club notices. No less than a visiting group of four, composed of Kiwanians or a minimum of two Kiwanians plus members of a Circle K club, Key Club, and/or Builders Club sponsored by the visiting Kiwanis club, must be in attendance. To qualify for inter- club credit, the meeting must be an official meeting of the host club. Conventions, division council meetings, and similar events do not normally qualify.

THIS WEEK:  
 

Great meeting this week with guests Linda Landry from JCEP/PAC and also Susan Carpenter and her father, Otis Carpenter.  Linda was our guest[B13] speaker and gave us such interesting information about the JCEP program.  Susan came to lend her support to Linda and also to rejoin Kiwanis.  And not just talk – she filled out her application and handed it in right then and there. 

We are preparing to venture to Shreveport to give information and answer questions about Every Child A Swimmer so that the children in that [G50]area can hopefully benefit from a program such as ours. 

Our head cheerleader, President Margaret has been on the trail speaking to the different schools in our area – 6 so far – getting our message out, telling the faculty what Kiwanis is all about, finding out their needs and partnering them with other[O63] organizations in our area who could help.  Margaret is doing a tremendous job, no question about it, but can’t we all be cheerleaders?  Can’t we all talk to someone everyday about Kiwanis.  Who we are and what we do?  Remember – Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers (that’s us) dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.  LET’S DO IT!!!

If you have someone you would like to hear as a speaker or a topic you’d like to get more information on, please call Margaret and let her know.  She’s always open to suggestions.
