re: More than a boxed lunch

Helene Meissner — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:57:14 GMT

As the Director of a Food Bank I can tell you that any efforts made to feed hungry children are much needed and greatly appreciated. Programs such as this boxed lunch and others such as backpack programs and summer feeding are, sadly, becoming more necessary as families struggle to make ends meet. There are so many easy things Kiwanis Clubs can do to help. Contact me if you want some ideas.

I believe this bid is a fantastic idea. I truly believe that as a people we can accomplishment great things by the strength of our backs, the magnitude of our hearts and with little political interferance. I am so proud of the accomplishments of the Kiwanis Clubs in Jamaica and wish you every success with this project and future endeavours. Please let us know how Jamaicans in the U.K. can help. I am more than willing!!!

re: The definition of giving

Cheryl Rader, Brookville Kiwanis club, Brookville Indiana — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:30:22 GMT

The Brookville Kiwanis Club has been giving dictionaries to 3rd grader for 5 years. We have donated well over 1000 since we began. Our club is a small club of 32 members. However we realized the need to help our teachers and students. Each year the teachers and students greet us with a big smile on their face when they see us coming carrying the dictionaries. Still to day when a student comes up to me in the store and states " hey your the lady that gave me my dictionary, " Boy does that fell good. As Lt. Gov. of Rose Division in Indiana I have asked other clubs in our division to get on board with the dictionay project.

The FM Aktion club chartered in August with 139 members and they now have over 155 members in their club

The club is very active in the community and with the 7 Kiwanis clubs in the Fargo-Morrhead area

re: Membership falls for service groups

Michael Henriques — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:18:18 GMT

Kiwanis International have been focusing on membership growth in recent years instead of deeds and examples to atrtact members who can aford to give of their time example & cash. It is bette, I think, to have a smaller group of business & professional men who can affort to toke on important projects instead of a large group of members who are unable to afford either their time, talent or their treasure. People are always attracted to success.

This is a wonderful thing to read about. I hope to see more Aktion Clubs develop!

re: Membership falls for service groups

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

ATTRIBUTION: Attributed to SOCRATES by Plato, according to William L. Patty and Louise S. Johnson, Personality and Adjustment, p. 277 (1953)."

The origin of the above quote may be in question, but it dose highlight the fact that the “Youth of today” woes is no new phenomenon. Older and younger generations have been clashing for as long as there has been older and younger generations. The two groups view the world from opposite ends of the spectrum. It should come as little surprise that the groups clash.

As a 23 year-old and as a member of Kiwanis, I take offense Michael Mulhaul's opinion that “...people just aren't motivated to give back to the community.” and “...[the] younger generation gradually thought it was unnecessary.”

I know many young motivated volunteers. What we do want, and often what we don't find, are groups that are truly working to make a difference. We care and we are motivated. We just need to find groups that welcome and guide us instead of groups that ostracize us for our youth. Kiwanis and other organizations need to ask themselves how they can work to make their clubs more welcoming to young members. I'm happy to say that I've found that leadership and friendship in the Franklin club that I'm a member of. I know we can all work together. We simply need to stop pointing fingers and start finding solutions.
