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: #34 The
official emblems of Kiwanis and other Kiwanis-family members registered
marks are created and controlled by the
International Board of Trustees. No other organization or enterprise can
use the names or emblems without prior consent of the International Board.
Clubs, divisions, districts, and other official Kiwanis entities are
licensed to use Kiwanis-family names and emblems on stationery, bulletins,
and other items reasonably necessary to their operation, provided that
such items are not resold for profit. Protection of our Kiwanis-family
names and emblems from unauthorized use is imperative to maintain the
reputation and public confidence Kiwanis has earned over many decades.
THIS WEEK: Guest and speaker for
this week was Renee Rhodes representing Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency
(LOPA). Steve had the chance at Lottery, and won his dollar back. I
guess that the Brag Jar got a lot of action today due to the great
attendance at this meeting.
Please welcome our newest member of Kiwanis, Mr. James Trosclair.
Big business for today was the Annual Meeting and Election of
Officers for the coming year 2007-2008. I know everyone wishes them a
successful term.
Elected were:
President Jean Potier
President Elect -- ___________
Secretary Annie Durand
Treasurer Peggy Hardy
Board of Directors:
Elaine St. Julien Past President
Judy Bonhomme
Steve Comeaux
Carol Lagarde
Dennis LeBlanc
Leslie Thibodeaux
Larry Roy Pepper Festival Chair
 Christine
is still forming up plans for Every Child A Swimmer(ECAS),
and passing the list around for helpers
on that important project.
Please call her @ 394-5264
if you can volunteer some hours.
TODAY'S PROGRAM: Renee Rhodes of LOPA talked to us about becoming
organ/tissue donors. When one is an organ donor there is the possibility
of helping 9 people and over 50 people if a tissue donor. She told us
that there are 95,000 people waiting for transplants and every 13 minutes
another name is added to the list. To become a donor you can have it noted
on your drivers license, but also tell your family that you wish to be a
donor. With her own personal experience, she made a very good point about
the importance of having a conversation with your family about becoming a
donor. It was a very interesting and moving presentation.
