COMMITTEE CHAIRS
If you have members helping with your projects tell Chuck so he can list them in the committee structure below. If you don't have members helping you, you should be asking them. DON'T TRY TO DO IT ALL YOURSELF. Very few will just volunteer, because most don't even know there is a job with which you need help.
There are many tasks to be accomplished, and members joined to particapte in community service. Let's spread out the workload so an individual does not become over taxed.

The Six Objects of Kiwanis
1. To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.

2. To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.

3. To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards.

4. To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.

5. To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.

6. To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of rightousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.
