THOUGHT/QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
  I fear waking up one morning and finding out my life was all for nothing. We’re here for a reason.  I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. When you’re kind to someone in trouble, you hope they remember and are kind to someone else and so on.  Soon it will be like a wildfire. — Whoopie Goldberg

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 #72:  The Kiwanis general liability insurance covers fund-raising and service activities involving the public as well as club activities confined to the membership. Because a high percentage of public liability exposure is the result of a club’s fund-raising and service activities, clubs are permitted to allocate from revenue of fund-raising projects, as a legitimate expense, all premium charges over and above a basic sum of 25 cents (US) per member per year. The 25 cents must be paid from the club’s administrative account.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Please be advised that the annual meeting of the Kiwanis Club of St. Martinville will be held on April 16 at 7:00 a.m. The purpose of this annual meeting is to elect officers for the coming year.

THIS WEEK: Anthony James of Acadiana C.A.R.E.S. (www.acadianacares.org)
               was our guest speaker this week.  Anthony gave us a detailed report
                    on how Acadiana C.A.R.E.S. impacts the needs of those infected with HIV
                                and ways that we, as an organization, can assist. 

Special thanks to all of our Kiwanis Family members who participated in Kiwanis One Day by participating in the Trash Bash (Builders Club members) and replanting the city entrances (Key Club and Kiwanis members).  Remember that Kiwanis family members all over were doing some service on Kiwanis One Day.  What an awesome concept.  

Don’t forget about Highway Clean Up this Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. at Armory Hall.  If you didn’t sign up, but can assist, please come on down.
