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.

Good morning!

If, by some chance, you're off to visit Sharon, she was moved to the Penn State Rehab Hospital

yesterday! (o; She's in room 1005. The address is:

Penn State Hershey Rehab

1135 Old West Chocolate Ave

Hummelstown PA 17036

If you want to send her a card - send it there with her home address as the return address on the

envelope.

Centre Hall Pa 16828

She is in poor spirits - very tired of the fight - but is hanging in there.

She'd love to hear from all of you, and I'm sure it would lighten her spirits and brighten her day.

Tell Kiwanians The Eliminate Project is working A message from The Eliminate Project Chairman Randy DeLay

The Kiwanis family continues to help keep families whole through our fight to elimi-

nate maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). Our team is building on momentum from the Kiwanis International convention and planning for a strong fundraising

push in the coming months. I am proud to say that we are set up for success. As of August 14, 2014, our Kiwanis family has raised more than US$61.4 million in cash

and commitments! These crucial funds will help save or protect at least 34.1 million women and babies.

Since 1999, UNICEF and its partners have eliminated MNT in 35 countries. Fifteen of

those countries eliminated the deadly disease between 2010 and 2014, the years of

Kiwanis’ involvement. In the last 14 months alone, we have celebrated MNT elimi-nation in six countries. Our fundraising efforts and partnership with UNICEF are

making it possible to accelerate elimination efforts. Let’s keep the momentum going with a new wave of activity and commitments so we can give hope to families in the

24 countries where MNT remains a threat.

By choosing to serve the poorest of the poor, Kiwanis is sending a loud message—that these women matter, they deserve to give birth to healthy babies, and their

babies deserve to achieve their full human potential. MNT is on the brink of elimina-tion. Now it’s time for the final push—to eliminate MNT from the face of the Earth.
