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 #64:  The Kiwanis administrative year begins on October 1. Originally, clubs and districts operated on the calendar year. However, Kiwanis International officers were elected at the annual conventions in early summer and assumed office immediately or, beginning in 1950, on August 1. This led to many problems of budgeting, programming, and leadership. For example, each International President worked with two sets of district governors and club presidents, and vice versa. Finally, in 1969 the administrative year beginning October 1 was adopted for all levels of Kiwanis organization. 

This Week:  Our own Kiwanian Brenda Comeaux-Trahan was our guest speaker this week.  Brenda is always ready to share the exciting things that are going on at the Acadian Memorial in St. Martinville, but she has recently taken on another role in our fair city, that of Tourism Director.  I know that Brenda will do an excellent job with this new hat that she’s wearing.  She brings enthusiasm and knowledge to everything she works on. Good luck, Brenda!  Check out the website to see what’s going on within our city.  www.acadianmemorial.org  

Jean had information on the upcoming conventions which she handed out to those who were interested.  There are April deadlines for early registration for the 2008 Intl. Convention in Orlando this summer and for deposits on the 2009 Dist. Convention cruise.  If you think you’d like to attend these upcoming events, along with the District Convention in Memphis this summer, please contact Jean for more information. 

Super Bowl was well attended and enjoyed by all!  The grazing snacks and the chili seemed to feed the hungry quite well.  The football pool was won by Gerry LeBlanc, Hank Lagarde and Elaine St. Julien.  We also had several prospective members in attendance.  Thank you, Dan and Christine, for bringing Gerard, Doug and Becki.  

Our attendance was scarce at the meeting this week, possibly due to Fat Tuesday celebrations.  We hope to see you at next week’s meeting.

Congratulations to Ryan St. Julien, son of Elaine and Ted, who signed this week to play football with LSU.
