Tom’s guest, Gene Andrews, who had come to give Natalie some insight on a seminar she was in charge of, and Sheba from the Fleet Branch Library were welcomed.</p> <p><strong>Happy Bucks</strong></p> <p>Natalie glad all in her family are getting better after bouts of flu, strep, pneumonia, etc. Ione happy no snow fell in front of the church, so she didn’t have to shovel it. Naaman glad to be back to a meeting and for the sunshine. Elmer glad Naaman’s back. Ellen also glad to see the sun and everyone here. Dave had $2 bucks – one that his wife is doing well after having her colon removed, and another for the grandchild that is expected to be born any time now. Tom happy Gene could be with us. Gene for the blessing of still having his wife with him, although she had been very ill.</p> <p><strong>Club Business</strong></p> <p>•New member recruitment discussed. Tom said Matthew Coates, manager of the Charter One Bank at E. 57<sup>th</sup> and Broadway, is considering membership. He could commit to attend one meeting a month. Tony, Dave and Ellen also did some recruiting last week at the Garfield Heights Chamber of Commerce meeting. Dave put our membership drive in perspective, saying, “We can do and do and do, but it is also important to just “be.” Let us not lose sight of the value of friendship and fellowship.”</p> <p>•Ione reported that the family we had purchased Christmas presents for was “just thrilled” about everything. Besides the presents, they were given food, coats and University Settlement supplied them all with beds. Sounds like a very, merry Christmas!</p> <p>•Sheba said the library will be doing a program in April to mark the birthday of Olympic champion Stella Walsh (from Slavic Village) and tying it into the Polish Constitution Day celebration. She said she has to do some research on the life of Stella Walsh, and Dave recommended she contact John Grabowski at the Western Reserve Historical Society.</p> <p>•On Monday, Feb. 18, our club will be hosting the Division 15 monthly meeting, to be held in Haren Hall at Holy Name, with a good Polish meal catered by Seven Roses. Dinner at 6:30 p.m.; meeting at 7 p.m. Please save the date as we want our club to be well represented. We will devote next week’s meeting, Jan. 30<sup>th</sup>, to the nuts and bolts of hosting this event. At the following week’s meeting, Feb. 6<sup>th</sup>, we will discuss the upcoming Pancake Breakfast set for April 20<sup>th, </sup>also in Haren Hall.</p> <p><b>Meeting adjourned at 12:40 p.m., followed by monthly board meeting.</b></p> <p><b></b></p> <p><b><i><u>UPCOMING EVENT – </u></i></b><i><u>Monday, </u></i><i>February 18, “President’s Day” – SE Club to host Division 15 meeting in Haren Hall, 6:30 p.m. dinner; 7 p.m. meeting.

One quote that made me think of Kiwanis, and Key Club in particular, was this, on page 49:<br /><br /><em><blockquote><strong><em>Generativity predicts that we will be successful</em>.</strong> It has a positive<br />impact that is not related to social class, IQ, or religiousness. However, teens<br />who are highly generative tend to end up in a higher social class.<br /></blockquote></em><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote><em><blockquote></em></blockquote></blockquote></em></em></blockquote></blockquote></em></em></blockquote></blockquote></em></em></blockquote></blockquote></em></em></blockquote></blockquote></em></em></blockquote></blockquote></em></em></blockquote>Tim Ferrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017729059380972892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31949569857866196.post-89608214745791788592007-09-14T20:26:00.000-04:002007-09-14T20:41:42.860-04:00minutes of the September 12th meeting<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpyb3YrUBBYU2yyYDhFOkjgEhqKvJOLxcUUn3sj17wkyj655kmaqbUBUZhmLOqoAlCHqGVMZU_a77rrM-cKfF4KrZLuwZ0TzH_YH9djO9j0qr9wtKowKZaK3dJbBMQmjrkI7XJ7B3pCg/s1600-h/September+12,+2007+bulletin.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110224635779909922" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpyb3YrUBBYU2yyYDhFOkjgEhqKvJOLxcUUn3sj17wkyj655kmaqbUBUZhmLOqoAlCHqGVMZU_a77rrM-cKfF4KrZLuwZ0TzH_YH9djO9j0qr9wtKowKZaK3dJbBMQmjrkI7XJ7B3pCg/s400/September+12,+2007+bulletin.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hello all,</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Attached is your latest Kiwanis bulletin.

Georgia said that almost fifty people came to help. Cleveland's finest particpated as well stopping by and watching the traffic patterns so all of us felt safer sweeping along the street and sidewalk. No, Dennis, they didn't come for just the coffee and donuts. Besides, I thought they stopped by to thank you and Georgia for being their staunch supporters while we still await the fate of the Third District.<br /><br />My crew cleaned up the East 55th side of Broadway by the Library. Ludwig from Hubcap Heaven swept the entire corner from one end to the other. He sure helped that corner of East 55th and Broadway look spic and span. We pulled weeds, we picked up trash in stairwells that sat there for months, but when we finally were ready to sweep those library steps we knew we had accomplished a good thing. Robin should be so proud of her kids. They are good workers. Thanks, Angel, Tre or Gray ( my ears just aren't what they once were), and Chris.<br /><br />Dr. John Skrha, the founder of Broadway Clean Sweep, settled in to oversee the event with his photographer wife, Bets and his daughter Betsey. I didn't get a chance to ask him but I think he was quite proud that we all carry on the tradition. A plus this year was the wonderful music that poured out of the windows of the Broadway School of Music. I don't know who plays that saxophone but they are quite talented as many of the other musicians who serenaded us were.<br /><br />Barbara and her crew would have been out there too but they are preparing for a recital to be held on Monday May 14th. Call the school at 216-641-0630 for details.<br /><br />Georgia had everything under control getting people to sign in, giving them spots to clean, and generally, seeing that the event moved forward. Councilman Tony Brancatelli and Councilwoman Phyllis Cleveland came on over and I am not sure where they pushed their brooms but I am sure that Georgia pressed them into service.<br /><br />Tom McLeary and his able assistant, Louise provided the whole gang with hot dogs, chips and lemonade. My friend Christine served as an informational assistant urging people to have another hot dog but don't take too many chips because there was a finite amount. Dennis and Dave took there crew down the street with the fire hose and hosed Broadway down so that the dust was corralled for one day. Mittal Steel sent their street sweeper to finish the job. All in all, the work crews should get a standing ovation and a Bravo! for a job well done.<br /><br />And, as Jerry Seppelt, our District Governor said as he fixed one more hot dog for the road. "I'm outta here before Dennis and Georgia find something else for me to do. See you all next year!"Gloria Ferrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05056373607696867519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31949569857866196.post-76058443609889324302007-05-10T15:05:00.001-04:002007-05-10T15:07:50.718-04:00Thanks to Tim Ferris on Kiwanis bloggingThe South East Cleveland Kiwanis Club is indebted to Tim Ferris for encouraging our members to use this fine communication tool.Dave Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12227773193894635646noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31949569857866196.post-35781748956229191872007-05-02T14:28:00.000-04:002007-05-02T14:30:28.570-04:00CATS meetingTim as usual you did a super job of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">explaining</span> bloging etc to our club.

Our beginnings--Business Week 05/02/2007 issue on how "Blogs will change your <a href="http://business">business</a>"-- </p><p><a href="http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_18/b3931001_mz001.htm">http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_18/b3931001_mz001.htm</a></p><p>I didn't know what they were, but I knew that in Gloria's political campaign, we had to have one.</p><p> </p><p>II. Our SE Kiwanis presence: <a href="http://southeastkiwanis.blogspot.com--we">http://southeastkiwanis.blogspot.com--we</a> are in a rarefied atmosphere still, at this point--very few Kiwanis blogs across the country--try a <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=kiwanis+blog&hl=en&rls=GGIT,GGIT:2007-02,GGIT:en&start=0&sa=N">Google search for "Kiwanis blog"</a> and see what you get--</p><p>III. How things work, so that you can be a contrubuting collaborator, too--I send an invitation--you accept--you may have to open a Google or Gmail account, but just follow the instructions--if the acceptance registers, your name appears with the others in the right sidebar--start by commenting--then try posting your own original material--then try links--then try uploading an image--don't forget the labels, or tags</p><p>IV.

I got this tidbit from the book <a href="http://www.freakonomics.com/blog/"><em>Freakonomics</em> by Steven D. Levitt</a>, on page 131. (I had misattributed this to James Surowiecki and <em>The Wisdom of Crowds</em>, which I read about the same time.)<br /><br />All this was as a followup to Elmer's wanting us all to be sure to read Feagler's Wednesday piece on punks and guns and the Fleet area (I don't want to call it Slavic Village any more.). In case you missed it, you can read it <a href="http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/dick_feagler/index.ssf?/base/opinion/1175676262302590.xml&coll=2">here</a>.Tim Ferrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017729059380972892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31949569857866196.post-2154631484781280652007-04-03T19:48:00.000-04:002007-04-03T19:59:02.409-04:00April 4th Speaker's Program for SouthEast KiwanisThanks to Tom McLeary, our twice monthly speaker series continues at Southeast Kiwanis. Tomorrow our speakers will be Emily Lee from the <a href="http://www.ohiolung.org/">American Lung Association of Ohio </a>and Linda Kimble, Project Coordinator of the<a href="http://www.cooperativeconservationamerica.org/viewproject.asp?pid=814"> Cleveland Clean Air Century Campaign</a>. These ladies will speak to us about their organizations and talk about a fundraiser for the asthma initiative on June 25th.<br /><br />Tom is hoping that we can help these lovely ladies with their fundraising goals and they are going to tell us how. Sounds like this is one of those projects that is just down our alley, folks.<br /><br />We will hold our meeting in the dining room at Holy Name Parish located at 8328 Broadway Avenue thanks to the generosity of Father Tom O'Donnell.<br /><br />The meeting begins at Noon.
