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:
#41: There are four categories of membership in a Kiwanis club:
active, privileged, senior, and honorary. All members enter Kiwanis as
active members. The privileged class of membership was closed in 1963, and
this class will cease to exist when the last privileged member leaves his
club.
This Week:
Sorry about the abbreviated bulletin today but we wanted to get some
important information out to you about convention deadlines and we aren’t
having a meeting on the 4th of July …
The Kiwanis District Convention will be held in New Orleans at the Ritz
Carlton on August 2-5. If you are planning to attend this convention, you
need to contact Elaine St. Julien at 394-9726 BEFORE JULY 11. Due to the
high cost of registration for this convention, the board decided that the
budget would only allow for the cost of registration for this convention.
You will be required to pay your share of room costs. The rooms are
$136.70 per night. We have secured 2 rooms for Kiwanians to share.
Please contact Gerry 380-4300 if you would like for her to book a
separate room for you.
I would be remiss if I did not mention the fabulous birthday party that
Jean threw at the meeting this week for the June birthdays. She was
greeter and speaker getter. Donna Richard with the St. Martin Parish
Tourism Bureau was our guest speaker and generated a long question and
answer period with a lot of good information and insight for us and our
Pepper Festival promotion. Thanks, Jean, for the wonderful start of a
Wednesday!!!!
Some of your fellow Kiwanians will be traveling to Texas (maybe by boat if
it doesn’t stop flooding) to represent your club at the International
Convention and vote on important issues and elect a new slate of
officers. Keep those traveling – and voting – in your thoughts and
prayers.
Have a safe and Happy
Fourth of
July!!
