The Fourth Object of Kiwanis:
To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and
serviceable citizenship.
Kiwanis Education #45: Eliminating
iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) is the objective of Kiwanis
International’s historic Worldwide Service Project. The easiest way to
prevent IDD is by ionization of salt, which has eliminated IDD in most
developed countries. The goal of the Worldwide Service Project is to raise
USS75 million to finally eliminate IDD by salt ionization and public
education in all the remaining at-risk areas of the world.
This Week: We
had a full house and a special treat this morning. Our SMSH Key Club
officers were in attendance for the meeting. Samantha Ned, President;
Chelsie Bourque, Vice-President; Albreanie Prados, Secretary; Cassie Poche,
Treasurer; Kayla Heintz, Advisor to Officers; and Kevin Dugas, Advisor
were welcomed warmly by our club. We don’t often get to see them at the
meetings so that we can show them that we are very proud of them and the
work they do to make our community a better place. Samantha stated that
this would be “the best year EVER”. Go Key Club!
Jean had her second try in a row to win the lottery, but got her dollar
back. Larry announced that the Fall Highway Clean-up will be on October
6, 2007. More on this project later.
Elaine asked that everyone count their “Bucks” and advise her of your
totals - especially if you’ve reached “Millionaire” status.
The newest “Millionaire” is Dennis LeBlanc. The last date to earn bucks
for this year will be September 12, 2007.
Jean is asking people to volunteer for committees and projects for the
coming year, so if you are not able to attend the meetings but want to put
your name on the committee list, please contact Jean at
jpotier@cox.net or call her (if you can catch her home) at 394-9734.
Mary Arton brought Pepper Festival tee shirt samples and an order form
for Kiwanians to place orders. Please contact Mary or Gerry if you would
like to order tee shirts.
Our program this week was community analysis and club assessment brought
to you by Lt. Gov. Gerry LeBlanc. She explained the importance of
re-evaluating our club annually to see how we’re doing and what we could
do better. She also asked everyone to take a community analysis form to
the leaders of our fair city and ask them to fill them out so that we can
see what needs are not being met that we could work on as a club.
Gerry and Marti also shared with the club an opportunity we have every day
of having money donated to the Kiwanis International Foundation by using
the search engine goodsearch.com
on the internet. They explained that by typing in
goodsearch.com and naming Kiwanis
International Foundation as your charity,
goodsearch would donate each time
you signed on their search engine. Pretty simple and an easy way for us
to help KI Foundation. If you are computer savvy, we encourage you to use
goodsearch … for the good of
Kiwanis! (Just click on any of the
goodsearch.com links in this story
