Why we are Kiwanians:

REFLECTIONS – "HEARD A GOOD STORY LATELY" Story telling is time honored way of sharing one's self with others and Kiwanians are some of the most interesting people around. Isn't there a story in your life related to your work or personal life that has meant a great deal to you and helped you to be a better Kiwanian? It doesn't have to be long. Just about five minutes. Sharing a Reflection would help feed our human and spiritual values as fellow Kiwanians. Speak to Al Wilson 861–6647 He will be glad to help you schedule sharing a Good Story.

State College Kiwanis Club Mission Statement Guided by the Six Objects of Kiwanis, the State College Kiwanis Club is dedicated to providing philanthropic assistance to our community, especially to programs that benefit children and youth. Weekly dinner meetings support this mission that feature invited speakers on a variety of topics, and by cooperative community service and fund raising projects in which all members are encouraged to participate.

The Objectives of Kiwanis International

To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.

To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships. To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent aggressive, and

serviceable citizenship To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring

friendships, To render altruistic service, and to build better communities. To coop-erate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high

idealism, which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patri-otism, and good will.

A card will be sent to any member who is ill or in need of cheering up by member Ann Graves.

Please give her names of any who need this nice service. Please call her at 867-3322 or email her at [email protected]

The Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games are held each year at Penn State University in State College. The event brings together over 2,000 athletes and 750 coaches from across the state. Our largest event of the year, Summer Games features three days of intense competition in aquatics, athletics, basketball, bowling, equestrian, golf, gymnastics, softball and tennis. Every race, every game, every competition held at Summer Games represents many weeks of training, preparation and dedication on the part of our athletes, coaches and volunteers. This event requires volunteers from around the state to serve as officials, athlete escorts, award presenters, and in various other ways. Spectators are welcome to visit any of the competition venues and cheer on the athletes.

The 2014 Summer Games will place from June 5 - 7, 2014.

Newsletter Title

Inside Story Headline

This story can fit 150-200 words.

One benefit of using your newsletter as a pro-motional tool is that you can reuse content from other marketing materials, such as press releases, market studies, and reports.

While your main goal of distributing a news-letter might be to sell your product or service, the key to a successful newsletter is making it useful to your readers.

A great way to add useful content to your newsletter is to develop and write your own articles, or include a calendar of upcoming events or a special offer that promotes a new

product.

You can also research articles or find “filler” articles by accessing the World Wide Web. You can write about a variety of topics but try to keep your articles short.

Much of the content you put in your newslet-ter can also be used for your Web site. Micro-soft Publisher offers a simple way to convert your newsletter to a Web publication. So, when you’re finished writing your newsletter, convert it to a Web site and post it.




The subject matter that appears in newsletters is virtually endless. You can include stories that focus on current technologies or innova-tions in your field.

You may also want to note business or eco-nomic trends, or make predictions for your customers or clients.

If the newsletter is distributed internally, you might comment upon new procedures or im-provements to the business. Sales figures or earnings will show how your business is grow-ing.

Some newsletters include a column that is updated every issue, for instance, an advice column, a book review, a letter from the presi-dent, or an editorial. You can also profile new employees or top customers or vendors.

“To catch the reader's attention, place an interesting sentence or quote from the story here.”

Selecting pictures or graphics is an important part of adding content to your newsletter.

Think about your article and ask yourself if the picture supports or enhances the message you’re trying to convey. Avoid selecting im-ages that appear to be out of context.

Microsoft Publisher includes thousands of clip art images from which you can choose and import into your newsletter. There are also several tools you can use to draw shapes and

symbols.

Once you have chosen an image, place it close to the article. Be sure to place the caption of the image near the image.

Key Club will meet on May 6, 2012 at State College High School sewing room to work on this project. The residents at Greenhills Village have 10 dolls ready to go. Very soon the State College Kiwanis Club will present to Mount Nittany Medical Centre a large bag of dolls to give to children who come into the emergency room or into the hospital for surgery. This is the actual pattern they will use. This same pattern is used around the world by Kiwanis Clubs. For more information talk with Jane Wettstone or Pat Stutzman-Roeber
