THOUGHT/QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
    There are no secrets to success: Don’t waste time looking for them.
            Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure,
                loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence.
                                      – Gen. Colin Powell

The Second Object of Kiwanis:  To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.

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.

THIS WEEK...
    Craig Baudoin, former Kiwanian, and chef extraordinaire, was our guest speaker.  Craig told us about his new endeavor, St. John Restaurant, which will be opening next to Danna’s Bakery before the end of the year.  His almost 30 years in the restaurant business and his desire to have a personal relationship with his customers will surely make St. John Restaurant a big success.  Craig also wants to work closely with the City of St. Martinville to promote tourism in our town. 

Also a former Kiwanian, Caroline Jean Batiste, was at our meeting this week.  Caroline, who is a teacher at St. Martinville Junior High School, would like for our club to sponsor a Builders Club at her school.  She is willing to be the advisor and says that the Principal is onboard with the idea.  AWESOME!!!!

Please check the calendar of events for upcoming opportunities to be of service. 
     Carol is in charge of Pictures with Santa and her contact numbers are: work 367-6604; cell 519-2257; and home 394-9809.

     Annie is in charge of Foster Children Christmas Party and her contact information is: 394-6239.  Annie will also need assistance with gift wrapping the Saturday before the party.  Call her if you can help.

At the meeting this week, Larry thanked the bulletin team which consists of Peggy Hardy, Marti Harrell and Gerry LeBlanc. 

Reminder that we are in the process of collecting for the Mission Project to sponsor milk goats to a village in Haiti.  Any personal donations collected will be matched by our club until the second week of December.  Dennis and Gerry LeBlanc presented a check for $50 to the project in thanksgiving for the health and wellbeing of their children and grandchildren.
