President Jerry Meyer's Address

Jerry Meyer, newly installed President of the Kiwanis Club of Seward, gave his incoming President Address this noon. He went over the 2017-2018 Goals and Objectives and what is needed and expected from members for the club to have a great year. Our Motto is: "Serving the Children of the World". Our Defining Statement: "Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Our Vision: Kiwanis will be a positive influence in communities worldwide...so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide support they need to thrive". Our Goal: "To perform meaningful service, with service to children as our priority". He also recognized Roger Mailand for his service as 
Chair of the Spiritual Aims Committee. Other Chairs had been recognized at previous meetings. We had 60 members present today and with Jerry's leadership, this is expected to be an outstanding year for our Club. The "Empty Bowl" Luncheon will be held tomorrow under the leadership of Pam Moravec. Some 16 vendors have agreed to provide the soup. This event continues to be the major fund raiser to support the "back-pack program" in the Seward Elementary schools. This is a program that the Club has sponsored for the past several years that fits President Meyer's Goals and Objectives perfectly.
