The
Third Object of Kiwanis:
To promote the adoption and the application
of higher social, business, and professional standards.
Kiwanis
Education #27:
Monies received by Kiwanis clubs from
fund-raising projects in which the public participates or from members or
others for service activities sponsored by the club must be segregated
from the administrative funds of the club and used only for the club’s
service activities. Only the actual costs of the fund-raising activity can
be charged to the service account. Nor can interest earned by the service
account be transferred to the administrative account. All nonservice
operating costs of the club must be charged to an administrative account,
which is funded by member dues and fees.
THIS
WEEK:
First of all, mark your
calendars right now for the Pictures with Santa Project on December 6 (not
sure yet who will be spearheading this project – any takers?) and the
Foster Children Christmas Party on December 10.
Pictures begin at 9:00 a.m. at Bulliard Drive Housing
Development. Foster Party volunteer possibilities are 4:00 to set up at
Sterling Alexander Building in Adam Carlson Memorial Park and 6:00 for the
party.
One more morning meeting before the next evening
meeting in Kiwanis. Check calendar of events for specifics.
Our guest speaker this week was Paul Bourgeois of
CHOICES. Thank you, Jean and Elaine, for our speaker. Paul shared with
us the unique opportunity we have as volunteers to make a difference in
8th graders by speaking to them and helping them with their goals in life
or CHOICES. If you’re interested in more information, ask Jean or Elaine.
Marti Harrell introduced her guest, Ellen
Bordelon, who is a prospective member of our club. Thanks, Marti, for
asking!
Marti will greet next week and Elaine will pray. Our
club is making its annual donation to Kiwanis International Foundation as
well as the District Foundation in the amount of $300 each.
Plenty of Key Club news
this week – our SMSH Key Club celebrated Key Club Week by activities each
day at their school. The week culminated with a Pizza Party attended by
an interclub team of Larry Roy, Leslie Thibodeaux, Jean Potier, Kevin
Dugas and Gerry LeBlanc.
An informational meeting of the Acadiana Home School
Key Club (sponsored by the St. Martinville Kiwanis) was held on Tuesday in
Lafayette at the library. At least 14 high school kids were in
attendance. The next meeting will probably be in the first week of
December. The kids and parents were extremely excited and grateful for
the opportunity of a home school Key Club. The club is hoping to charter
in early spring. |

 President’s
Corner
We are
approaching the Christmas Season and everyone is beginning to concentrate
on personal up-coming festivities. However, please make a special effort
to assist in the Christmas activities which the St. Martinville Kiwanis
Club puts on for the less fortunate children.
Please mark your calendars now.
Have a great weekend.
