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 #46:
Persons who have performed a distinguished public service may be elected
to honorary membership in a Kiwanis club. Honorary members must be
re-elected annually. Honorary members may attend meetings and other club
activities but cannot vote or hold office in the club. Honorary members do
not pay membership fees or dues, but the club provides each honorary
member with a subscription to KIWANIS magazine.
This Week:
Guests today were Sue Thibodeaux, Registrar of Voters,
and Burton Dupuis, Administrator of St. Martin Hospital, and speaker for
the day.
Elaine, our own Madame President, had the chance for lottery today. Even
with coaching from Gerry on how to hold her fingers to pick the stone she
only got her dollar back. Oh well…try again.
Elaine asked that everyone count their “Bucks” and advise her of their
totals - especially if you’ve reached “Millionaire” status. 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.
Advance orders for Pepper Festival shirts are available. Please contact
Mary or Gerry if you would like to order tee shirts, etc.
Jean is organizing a garage sale for September 15th. If you
would like to contribute anything or help in any way, contact her
@394-9734. Please pre-price your items. You will need to call her to set
up a time to drop off items. (We understand that all proceeds will be
donated to our administrative fund – so be generous with your time and
treasures.)
Sue Thibodeaux, St. Martin Parish Registrar of Voters, distributed
information concerning the upcoming Elections. For the Primary Election
on October 20th (the day before Pepper Festival.), the
schedule for early voting is from October 6 thru 13, and the last day to
register or change is September 19, 2007. For the General Election on
November 17th. Early voting will be held from November 3rd
thru Nov. 10th , and last day to register will be October 17,
2007.
Program:
Mr. Burton Dupuis, Administrator of St. Martin Hospital, came to bring us
a report of the state of the hospital and reiterate what services that are
offered in our parish with ease of access. The numbers are impressive and
the hard work of the St. Martin Hospital staff is evident by their
progress report. |
