THOUGHT/QUOTE OF THE WEEK: We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from it. -William Osler

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 #37:   Kiwanis International’s continuing service focus is called “Young Children: Priority One.” The Priority One Advisory Council is a group of more than 30 child-related organizations that advise Kiwanis on the Young Children: Priority One program and offer local partners to clubs for collaborative projects.  Every Kiwanis club is urged to conduct at least one major Young Children: Priority One project each year.

THIS WEEK:   There were two guests this morning’s  meeting. Danica Adams, speaker for the day, and daughter of  Margot Addison; and sweet little “Dinky”, who had not been with us for quite a while. We were happy to welcome them both. 
   Steve won the chance at lottery but he only got his dollar back. 
   Jean informed us that we are listed in the Louisiana Association of  Fairs and Festivals booklet. 
   Elaine offered members a chance to beef up their “Kiwanis Bucks” with several incentives.  Speaker getter and greeter through June will receive double bucks; bringing in a new member through July will also get you double bucks.   If members can recite, in writing, the Kiwanis defining statement at orientation on May 30, more bucks will be theirs.
 
Edna Landry has informed us that the Training day for volunteers will be on May 16^th.  We are responsible for providing lunch for the participants. 
   Christine thanked all who attended the City Council meeting to promote the Every Child A Swimmer program.  Please call Christine to assist with this project @ 394-5264.
