ANNUAL PARENT/SCHOLAR RECOGNITION BREAKFAST

On Friday April 11 th we had our annual pancake breakfast event where we recognize the outstanding contributions of the parents of Fletcher’s finest students. The Fletcher principal, Don Nelson, gave a short personal bio about each student, and then gave each student a certificate to present to their parents.

We were fortunate to again have Reverend Peyton Hopkins as the keynote speaker. He always delivers a humorous and inspiring message.

President Karl Price emceed the event, and spoke about our club and Kiwanis. He also presented the scholarships to the two students who were selected by our scholarship committee. The scholarships are deposited into the student’s account at their chosen college.

We thank the scholarship selection committee, Karl Price, Chuck Watson, and Paula Powell.

Thank you to Chuck and Lucy Watson for their planning, printing programs and certificates, and picking up supplies for the breakfast. We appreciate all who assisted in making this a great event Karl Price, Chuck and Lucy Watson, Max Robinson, Jane Fairall, John Bates, Paula Powell, Lal Ramdeen, Alison Cacella, Jim McComb, Bev and Butch Shadwell. Thank you to Lucy Watson who took photos of each student as they were recognized, and sent the photos to each student by email.

A special thank you to Publix who donated $100 gift card, and to Starbucks who donated coffee.

– 2014 Florida Governor Matthew Cantrell’s “STEPS TO EXCELLENCE”

INVOCATION

Heavenly Father, Help us to be big enough to admit our shortcomings, strong enough to accept criticism, Amen and compassionate understand human frailty, so that we may wholeheartedly help others.

enough to And now bless this food to our use and us to Your service.

From: “Invocations for Kiwanis Occasions” by James J. Muench

PRESIDENT’S COMMENTS

James McComb is now a member of the club! We are doing well this year but we have plenty of room at the table so keep on recruiting. Time is running short for Birdies for Charity so put on your salesman hat on, and get us some more money for our charity work. Our spring social is this Sunday at Adele Grage/Bull Park, 716 Ocean Blvd. Atlantic Beach. It’s out on the lawn, so bring chairs or a blanket and your snacks and beverages. Let’s try to be there by 5:30 PM to get some space for us. The concert runs 6-8 PM.

We completed the application for a $500.00 mini-grant from the Florida Kiwanis Foundation to help us in funding a patio area for Finnegan Elementary. Keep your fingers crossed.

Well, goodbye for a month as Melva and I take off for the Midwest for an Air Force promotion ceremony for our son-in-law and the high school graduation for our grandson. Lal has agreed to take over the reins for May so thanks for serving again.

Karl Price
