THOUGHT/QUOTE OF THE WEEK:  
   I sincerely believe that all you send into the lives of others does come back into your own. If you will give of yourself without thought of financial gain, then financial gain will come. Give, give enthusiastically, give willingly and be willing to give beyond that for which you are being paid, and watch the returns come in.
                                                            –Mary Kay Ash 

The First Object of Kiwanis: To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.

Kiwanis Education #35:  All solicitations for funds by a Kiwanis club must be confined to the area in which the club functions, except by mutual agreement of clubs in a division, district, or area of solicitation. No member, club, or commercial enterprise may circularize for sale any product or service, solicit funds, or promote any program or project to Kiwanis clubs or members within a district without prior approval of the district board, or outside the district without prior approval of the International Board.

THIS WEEK:  

PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGE FOR OUR EVENING MEETING NEXT WEEK. 

Great meeting this week with lots of gambling and fingers crossed.  Leslie Thibodeaux was the lucky lottery winner of $118.  Congrats to you, Leslie.

Lt. Gov. Christine thanked everyone who attended the Governor’s Visit in Lafayette this Tuesday and also the opening of Parc Independence. 

The Dictionary Project is really taking off thanks to newest member (just voted in) Elmer Landry.  The dictionaries will be distributed by Elmer, Guy Cormier, Elaine St. Julien.  As Parish President, Guy will also proclaim November 5 as Dictionary Day.  Along with the proclamation, Guy and Elmer will be at SM Jr. High to present dictionaries and Channel 10 will be covering this event.  FYI – PRESIDENT MARGARET SAYS THAT ELMER WILL BE ON CHANNEL 10 BETWEEN 6 AND 7 AM THIS SATURDAY TO DISCUSS THE DICTIONARY PROJECT.  TUNE IN!!!

President Margaret is continuing to assist the Jr. High Builders Club with their formation meetings.  She also shared that she is having so much fun being President of Kiwanis.  Bold statement to make, Margaret!  But as a former President, I agree, it is a fun thing.

Our guest speaker this week was Suzanne Laviolette from the Longfellow-Evangeline State Historic Site.  Suzanne invited us to attend the Craft Fair at Longfellow this Saturday from 9-5.  There will be face painting for the kids, candy give away, crafts to see.  Admission is $4 which includes the park tour.  Adults 62 and children get in free.
