"The idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects."
~R.Hutchins
We had a full house this morning, which was great considering it is the middle of summer! We had a lot of guests this morning too! We welcomed Ron and Lyle from the Road Warriors. Jessica Boldt from the Chilliwack Hospital Foundation. Greg Weigrich our Lt. Governor and Jerry Deas Candidate for Governor Elect for the PNW District. Warm welcomes to all our guests and thank you for sharing your morning with us!
Just a few club updates:
  • Pig Roast is on August 19 at 2pm at Gwynne Vaughan Park $10 to Dennis
  • Soup Kitchen on Saturday we supported 101 clients
  • Car Show August 20 at 8:30am at Hogan Park for trailer support - talk to George if you are available
After our updates and reminders, Jerry Deas spoke about his platform, the importance of the 4 Is of Kiwanis (Investment, Image, Inspiration and Invent) and the role Kiwanis has played in his life- for 47 years! We are very fortunate to have a Governor Elect come visit us personally, so thank you Jerry for your time!

The Hospital was our major focus over the last two years, and we have been able to provide a lot of services and space in the Pediatric Observation Unit. Jessica joined us this morning to give us updates from Run for Mom and the Hospital in general.

Hospital Update
We learned today that there are 4 people who fund raise for the four hospitals in the area! impressive results! Although, some of us pointed out that's a 1-to-1 ratio and that is pretty good!
The hospital is always looking at new and better ways to treat children and harbor healthy parent baby relationships. Jessica talked to us about Kangaroo Care, and the importance of skin-to-skin contact, and the evolution of care up in the Maternity Ward. We heard amazing things about our sponsored playroom. Families love it. Kids love it. It is a wonderful distraction and a place where kids can be kids! Always a good focus!
We also got the following update about the Pediatric Observation Unit:

I think we can issue a challenge to our members to continue our support of the Pediatric Observation Unit- I challenge each member to donate 1 bubbles or 1 package of stickers so we can help bolster the "Smile Makers" fund! I will bring a box on Tuesday and we keep it all together, and I will deliver it to Jessica.

We wrapped it all up with a round of Happy Bucks and I hope you all have a wonderful week! See you on Saturday!
Thank you for all your awesome!
