Dear Kiwanians: I hope this finds everyone staying positive. A few updates: • Thank you to Angela Buchman who spoke to us last week. I think we all learned more about the weather from her talk, she did a great job with today's weather! • Tomorrow's meeting will be a "Kiwanis Connections" meeting, the Zoom link is here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83743255883?status=success • Upcoming speakers include Buffalo University professor Jim Lemoine (May 14) who will speak to us on servant leadership and Kiwanis International Vice President Peter Mancuso (May 21) • In-person meetings are canceled through July 4th, we gave this a lot of thought relying on information from Governor Holcomb and Mayor Hogsett. We miss everyone, but your health and safety is our top priority • Both the International Convention and our golf outing have been canceled • Welcome to new member Max Harper! Max is a colleague of mine at Butler University and we are thrilled to have him as a member. • We are pleased to announce our new Kiwanis Club of Board of Directors: Nancy Alrichs, Bill Dubois, Duke Haddad, and Carol Orbison. Congratulations and thank you for your service! In closing, I've reflected on my week which consisted of the following: • Took my family out to Ft. Harrison State Park for a picnic, it's beautiful there right now and I highly recommend a visit. • Watched a great documentary on Saturday Night Live comedian Darrell Hammond and his battles with childhood trauma and mental illness https://www.crackedupmovie.com/ • I attempted a new recipe of baked fish and scallops, it failed and I compensated by ordering everyone HotBox Pizza • Finished up a great sportsbook: https://www.amazon.com/Back-Roads-March-Unheralded- Basketball/dp/0385544480, great read • One of our students put together this video on Butler basketball and Hinkle Fieldhouse which was outstanding to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maELe5lwF2M In closing, a quote to perhaps reflect on: “Resilience is very different than being numb. Resilience means you experience, you feel, you fail, you hurt. You fall. But, you keep going.” Stay positive, I hope to see you all at noon tomorrow! Graham .
