Happy May! On May 1, I often think of the question my young students would ask me. If April Showers bring May Flowers, what do May Flowers bring? The answer of course is- Pilgrims!
We marvel at the innocence of young children, but we can learn something from them.
As Kiwanis, we have many opportunities to reach out to others. It might be a large project, but it can be some simple thing, as we see others who have a need that we can help with.
We are Kiwanis- changing the world one child, and one community at a time! . . . AL
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.

Remember, we are Kiwanis- changing the world one child and one community at a time!
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
