The Lord God will take away the disgrace of his people from all the
earth. Isaiah 25:8

God will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more;
mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have
passed away. Revelation 21:4

Eternal God, your love has no end, your forgiveness knows no bounds. You
stand ready to embrace us when we open our lives to you. In life, in
death, through Christ, we are yours! Thanks be to God! Amen.

"O mankind! We created you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that you may know and honor each other (not that you should despise one another). Indeed the most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most righteous." Chapter 49, Verse 13   Quotation from the Qur'an

News Items, Future Speakers and Other Important Information:

Mar 10: Capt was stuck with words like Acrostic and Acronym and we have homework to tell him the difference next week.  There is an upcoming area-wide Kiwanis Interclub with the Pottsville Kiwanis on April 14th.  More details are listed below.  Barb flipped a baseball to the Capt and he caught it.  Barb, Bill and Walt were at the mid-winter Kiwanis convention this past weekend and all clubs that had at least one member growth since October 1st received a "signed baseball."  Signed by Kiwanis International President Paul Palazzolo and PA Kiwanis Governor Ethan McBeth.  Good catch Captain!  Todays speaker was Anita Mitchell, Director of the Easton Area Community Center (St Anthony's Youth Center for us 'ol timers.)  The facility was purchased by St Anthony's in 1953 and was renamed some years ago mostly due to removing the name of the church from the operation due to governmental funding.  Presently they serve over 83 children in afternoon activities and over 1300 meals are prepared monthly for upwards of 125 children in a new kitchen.  The cost per child is only $50/year and they will find a way to make sure no one is left behind.  They have a 9-5 daily summer camp for 8 weeks.  About 300 various youth aged 5-18 are served throughout the year.  A variety of activities are available arts, crafts, athletics, creative arts and even an adult Italian class.  There are a variety of sports held at the facility also including basketball with cheerleaders too.  Hey, sign up my children at $50 a year: think of the money saved for families on kids meals.
 
NOTICE: in 2 weeks we will be voting at the Wednesday meeting on approval of developing and chartering a Club Satellite for the Easton Kiwanis.
