Kiwanis Education Minute:
There is no minimum number of members needed to initiate a satellite club.
Something to consider:
From “Live and Learn and Pass it On” from someone aged 52, “I’ve learned that I should make little decisions with my head and the big decisions with my heart.” And from an 82 year old, “I’ve learned that most people are honest.”
Upcoming meetings/Events:
2/26 - Mark Light
2/28 - Ohio Convention Meeting Milano’s Café 7pm
3/05 - Bryan Marshall at New China Restaurant
3/12 - Marilyn Green
3/19 - Heather Cox for Pancake Day
After some suspense, John Berg gave a short survey with the questions: 1) what would you put in a fortune cookie, 2) what do you have that you would not throw away, 3) what super power would you like to have.
He then read the members answers and tried to get the group to figure out who had written the answers in the get to know your Kiwanian exercise.
The most common super power requested was mind-reading. The most interesting super power: eidetic memory (photographic memory) was requested.
The Ada Kiwanis Club meets each Tuesday at 12:00 noon at McIntosh Center, ONU. Guests are always welcome.
