THOUGHT/QUOTE OF THE WEEK:  
   We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference,
      ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, "
            add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
                                                – Marian Wright Edelman

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

Kiwanis Education #72:  The Kiwanis general liability insurance covers fund-raising and service activities involving the public as well as club activities confined to the membership. Because a high percentage of public liability exposure is the result of a club’s fund-raising and service activities, clubs are permitted to allocate from revenue of fund-raising projects, as a legitimate expense, all premium charges over and above a basic sum of 25 cents (US) per member per year. The 25 cents must be paid from the club’s administrative account.

THIS WEEK: 
Greetings, fellow Kiwanians.  We had a great meeting at the St. Martin Parish Library (and that’s where we’ll be again this week).  The reason for the move is because there were auditors in the conference room at the Sheriff’s Office.  We should be back in our regular meeting room next week. Mike Formeller, President of the Friends of the Library, was our guest speaker.  Mike encouraged membership and told us how the Friends help support the library with  things that they couldn’t do on their own.   Mike also filled out an application for membership with Kiwanis and was approved on Thursday at the board meeting.

Reminder that we are in need of a President,  President-elect, and a bulletin co-editor.  As of the end of this month, our club will be leaderless unless someone decides to step up to the plate and pitch-hit.  At that time, you will probably cease to get a bulletin if no one chooses to help with this, too.  The bulletin is a three person committee, each of us doing a part of it each week.  Peggy emails the bulletin to me with the information on the left side filled in.  I write the news of the week, send it back to Peggy and on to Marti.  Marti posts it on the web and Peggy mails it to those who do not have email.  Perhaps the office of president could be a joint effort if no one is willing to make a total commitment.  Co-presidents may work for us!!!  Think about it.

At our board meeting/Pepper Festival committee meeting on Thursday evening, the board conducted the business of the club, including finances and housekeeping.  The festival committee continues to fine tune our festival activities.
