Kiwanis Education Minute:
For the Eliminate Project Kiwanis International is hoping that each member can contribute $750 US dollars for this project and become a Model Club. As of March 16, the Carolinas: 24, Texas/Oklahoma 20, Southwest 19, and all together 360 clubs have made the challenge.

Something to consider: 
From “Live and Love and Pass it On” from a 26 year old, “I’ve learned that if you try to be perfect, you’ll be frustrated all of the time.” And from a 29 year old, “I’ve learned that whenever I’m in a big hurry, the person in front of me isn’t.”
