The Sixth Object of
Kiwanis: To
cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high
idealism, which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice,
patriotism, and goodwill.
Kiwanis Education: #42: The first
International convention staged outside the United States and Canada was
in Vienna, Austria, in 1983, marking the 20th anniversary of the
organization of the Vienna club, the first in Europe. The second
International convention outside North America occurred in Nice, France,
in 1993.
This Week: We had a full house at Kiwanis today and that was GREAT!
The energy in the room was so vibrant that I could feel it bouncing off
the walls and carried me through the day. A good Kiwanis meeting is
better than drugs! Come on over and see if you agree.
Thanks, Dennis, for bringing Lt. Col. Larry Landry of the St.
Martin Parish Sheriff’s office to our meeting today. Larry spoke on
precautions and preparation for the possibility of a Flu Pandemic. Very
informative! There are ways you can be prepared and healthier for if and
when we get a pandemic. Log on to
www.dhh.louisiana.gov for more information on this subject.
Carroll Delahoussaye was a guest this morning so that he could
personally thank our club for the participation and donation to the summer
program that the City of St. Martinville puts on each year. We contribute
to the program which is geared to the ARC of St. Martin clients.
There will be a board meeting Thursday night (July 19) at Carol
Lagarde’s house hosted by Annie Durand. There will also be a Pepper
Festival meeting on August 1 at our regular morning meeting. Please make
every effort to attend.
Peggy and I apologize for not having a bulletin last week and in
advance for next week because we will both be out of town. We’re sorry
for any inconvenience this may cause you. GET OVER IT!
At the Kiwanis International Convention, delegates Jean Potier,
Dennis Leblanc and delegate-at-large Gerry LeBlanc spent much of the week
in sessions of the house. And no alcohol was involved much to their
regret. LaMissTenn’s Bascom Allen was voted in as International Trustee
at this convention and there was much opportunity for conversing with
Kiwanians from all parts of the world! Thank you for allowing us the
opportunity to represent you in San Antonio. And on a personal note, I
have to comment on the VIP treatment afforded those who had participated
in the gold key program of Kiwanis International. Remember it is the
incentive to recruit 1-2-3 new members into Kiwanis. We were seated in
the front section of the auditorium for the opening and closing sessions
and were treated to a reception hosted by last year’s Intl. President. At
the convention it was announced that this program will be again in effect
for the coming year. Please work on bringing your 3 new members into
Kiwanis. I believe that district is also going to recognize the 1-2-3
program participants.
Edna Landry, Trinity Builders Club sponsor, came by to let us know
that the Builders Club has used their funds to have the bleachers
repainted in the Trinity Upper Campus Gym. Thanks, Edna and Builders Club
for your service to Trinity! |
