Jerry's Words of Wisdom by Pres. Jerry Jenkins

July has arrived and I hope all have had their fill of Hamburgers, Hotdogs and Beer. I know I have. What would we do without the opportunity to celebrate the birth of the most wonderful country in the world with our family and friends? Fireworks are pretty nice too although rain doesn’t help.

We had a pretty busy month with our Filly presentation and the Governor, Governor elect, past Governor and last but not least our own Lt Governor also being present. A good time was had by all and. If you didn’t know, Dave Maloney stayed up all night creating a web site commemorating the occasion. Bravo Zulu, Dave.

It’s time for our new Officer’s to start training for their year in the chairs. Ken Dell as President elect has his plate full in particular. Good luck Ken.

New membership is a critical task for us at this time and for our future as Frederick Suburban Kiwanis. Our club is really much smaller than the roster implies. Has everyone really counted the active members and those who have the ability to participate in all our projects? I am very proud that so few can accomplish so much. Our fund raising projects are very time-consuming and require all to participate if we are to continue amassing the money to fund all the projects we have in the budget. We particularly need help for Vern Simmons and the fund raising committee. Please, can we have some people step forward and volunteer to assist in the planning and administration of this committee? It is imperative that we give Vern more assistance than he is getting. Thank you all.

I will be asking for nominations for the Delegates that will attend the District convention in Roanoke in August. If we can elect those people on 7 July we can then vote on their instructions for the convention at our board meeting in August. They have to vote on the new district leadership as well as the important issues involved in reshaping the Capital District. These are important issues, and I hope we can have our three delegates selected this Wednesday.

Enough for one month. I want to save some for the August and September newsletters.

Yours in Kiwanis,

Jerry

"Diamond" Given to Sarah Roney

On June 16, 2004 Deborah attended a special weekly meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Suburban Frederick to formally present the filly "Diamond" to Sarah. Carolyn Roney, Sarah's mother and Clyde's daughter, made the acceptance speech noting that the English language is inadequate to express the appreciation she and Sarah feel for this most generous gift. Deborah New also made some remarks, noting that Diamond will be cared for by Deborah and Sarah and will be used for the benefit of others in a therapeutic riding program for the physically handicapped. She is pleased and moved that she has found such a good home for Diamond, who Deborah was unable to take with her as she moves to South Africa with fiancee, Peter.

Also in attendance in addition to many club members were Capital District Gov. Linwood Watson, Gov. Elect Warren Kane, Div. 9 Lt. Gov. Art Riley, Past. Gov. John Tyner, club member and Cap. Dist. Sec. Ellis Stroup, and several Kiwanians from other clubs...read more

Local high schoolers, James Doggett and Jamie Shutta, were recently sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Suburban Frederick to attend a H.O.B.Y.s (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership) seminar at Mt. St. Mary's. They visited our club to express their appreciation for our support and to report on the highlights of their seminar.
