Jerry's Words of Wisdom by Pres. Jerry Jenkins

Here we go into the last two months of my term as President, and I am sure some people are looking forward to the end as much as I am.

With all our people who are sick, transferred to senior status or on vacation we are really coming up short on workers. Phil is frustrated at the lack of inter-clubs. Eric asks where are the new members, Clyde say’s I’m going to Florida, Vern says “I need help fund raising” and Jerry says what has happened.

Are we biting off more than we can chew, or are we just momentarily burnt out? I hope it is the latter.

I hope everyone can snap their suspenders, remember what Kiwanis is about and once again step up to the plate. A lot of assistance is needed, Ladies and Gentlemen, to accomplish everything we have obligated ourselves to do. I would ask each and every one of you to once again evaluate your contribution to our club and ask yourself are YOU doing all you can to accomplish the goals of our Kiwanis club. I think most of us could do just a little more if we really wanted too.

Personalities have never been a problem in our club. We have all worked in our own way to accomplish the same goals. I hope we can continue that attitude and work as a team to accomplish what we have set out to do, help children.

God Bless

Jerry
