Ken's Korner by Pres. Ken Dell

A Happy and Joyous New Year to all! I hope you had a good holiday. One good thing for me , “ the WRAP is OVER”. I want to thank all of you for your help. There are several people who in my opinion went above and beyond the call of duty. Larry Fellows was a real yeoman; it was rare to be there and not see Larry wrapping. Phil Pople, our Fund-Raising Committee Chair, set it all up, and Dave Maloney did an outstanding job not only wrapping but in organizing the volunteers and recruiting others to help. There were many others who put in a lot of hours wrapping and assisting where needed but I won’t name them for fear of leaving someone out. A sincere THANK YOU to all. Also we thank Phil Pople for putting the Fruit Sales together. This is no easy task, especially when coordinating our sales into one order, receiving and distribution of the fruit. Remember, the better we do with our fundraisers the more money we’ll have to use in serving our community. Please offer your support and patronage in the rest of these events in the new year.

I cannot stress it enough, RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS. If you don’t talk to your friends, family, neighbors, acquaintances, etc. about the Kiwanis then our club does not grow and all the good work we do in Frederick fades away. You don’t have to ask them outright to join; just talk about the things you and we do as an organization in casual conversation. Be enthusiastic about it, tell them about the smile on the children’s faces when we are able to give them a teddy bear or coloring book at the hospital, or how they change after a few weeks of therapeutic riding, or about the bicycle safety course, or how we help with child safety seat inspection, or car seat safety stickers, or Special Olympics, or the Cub Scout Troop and Explorer Post we sponsor, or Circle K or Key Club, etc, etc., etc. Maybe you’ll strike a chord in them so you can just ask them to come to a meeting to see and hear about us or a particular project firsthand. You can offer them a free, no obligation meal to see what we are all about. You are the “front line” so please go for it.

Enough of my ramblings. Again, for those of you who helped in our latest fund raisers please accept our congratulations and a well deserved pat on the back! ‘Till next time.
