SOUTH HILLS KIWANIS BULLETIN 5/20/10

VJ MAC led the meager crowd in the singing of "God Bless America". JOHN
MORDOFF led the salute to the nag. DON ANDREWS said the invocation,
and TEX WILLIAMS' old friend, Mr. Anonymous supplied the Thought For
The Day:

If you don't know which way to turn, stand still, and maybe you
will make better decisions by taking time to think.

Those in attendance were: STEVE SHERMAN, HARRY ANDERSON, BILL
MATTHEWS, TEX WILLIAMS, ELTON CHATFIELD (who came in the back
door - Late, but we let him in anyway), CAROL SCANLAN, ANITA WHITE,
PRES. COOKIE FORD, MIKE TANAKA ( A little late) TOM PALMERI, who
also was a little late, and left early to take car of a late tax filer), KEN MILLER, JOHN MORDOFF, DON ANDREWS, JOEL BEEZY(also a little late - what else is new), GEORGE GURNETT, GEORGE BISHOP, and MAC MC ALPIN. Next week, pick up the phone between 9:00 and 10:00 on Thursday, and invite some one to come to lunch with you. Thanks for coming this week.

GEORGE BISHOP (No- Fine Badge) stood up - tall that is - and bragged about his birthday - #90 - that is - JOEL BEEZY wanted to see his driver's license, because GEORGE ( aka the mitey might and aka "Runt" ) does not look 90 years old. GEORGE BIRTHDAY BOY started his OWN fund raiser by passing the fur-lined receptacle around and collected 90 cents from everyone, and if you did not have the change, just put in a
dollar and he would give you change. Good Job, GEORGE, but it is a shame there was such a sparse crowd.

JOEL BEEZY is celebrating his anniversary No. 28 (he thinks), and paid $5.00. COOKIE won the pot - again - a whole $2.00.

VERN MOYER of the Industry Kiwanis Club was introduced by Anita White. VERN has been at our club several times, and spoke on a program that the Industry club has implemented called "Read Around The World". This program is designed to help children, who have difficulty reading by giving them books that are colorful and easy to understand. These books are printed in 23 different languages, and the children are given books in their primary language. These books help to build confidence and selfesteem, and helps to overcome the frustration that a dyslexic child has. The cost of the books varies. Reading is an agonizing experience to young and old alike. The program is designed for the early learner in mind, but the principles and techniques are the same for all ages, because even adults can use the very same books to overcome their own
reading disabilities.
