From the President’s Desk
Fellow Kiwanians,
I am indeed happy that we have partnered with Digicel, Harris Paints, Williams
Equipment Ltd. and Ravers Band to do some work at the St. Philip District
Hospital. It was a great experience for those who were present and I am sure
there will be more projects of a similar nature in the future.
The month of June is usually our sponsored walk, but this year we are not
pursuing the fund raising aspect because of member’s involvement in the cake sale etc. just before.
However, it is still a grand opportunity to come out, get some exercise and have a great fellowship
time at the Miami Beach with God’s blessings.
May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvellous love, and may you be able to feel
and understand how long, how wide, how deep and how high his love really is and to experience
this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it. (Ephesians 3:17-19)
Best wishes

The Kiwanis Club of Barbados South was formed on September 26, 1989. It was
chartered with 26 members on the March 26, 1990 by Mr. Carlton E. Levy,
District Governor of the Eastern Canada & Caribbean District. The Kiwanis
Clubs of Bridgetown and Barbados North sponsored the club making it the third
Kiwanis Club in Barbados. K. Dennis Graham was elected Charter President and
K. Desmond Willett the Charter Secretary.
Throughout the Club’s existence, membership remained all male until April 08,
1999 when officers at the Board of Directors meeting approved a proposal for
membership from Mrs. Joycelyn Johnson. K. Joycelyn was inducted on April 20,
1999 as the first female member of this club. The club’s female membership now
stands at 32.

Kiwanis Education
PP Anthony Garner announced that in recent years he has observed
members forming ‘cliques‘in the club. As a result, the camaraderie that
once existed was now lost. He also contended that he has been in
discussion with a number of members who have expressed their
disappointment in the manner in which the club was being managed.
This apparently was their reason for not attending fellowship meetings.
This cultivated lots of discussion as some members were of the view,
that cliques were not necessarily a bad thing but it was also important to
recognize that the club had changed demographically.
Programme
President David gave a review of the ninth Board meeting held at the
home of DP James and his wife on June 9 th, 2011. He also recalled some
of the events of the District Convention held May 12-14 in Collingwood,
Canada.

June Message
International President Sylvester Neal
Let the sparks fly
Membership and recruiting should be a continuous, major focus of every
club. At every meeting, we need to ask our members to bring guests and
thank the current members who do.
I challenge you to be the spark that sets off a membership fire in your
club. Identify others who, like you, have a burning passion for service;
those who give unselfishly of themselves and live the principles of
Kiwanis. I challenge you to identify them and invite them to join the
world’s greatest service organization. Invite them to join us as we change
the world again.
Invite them to join us
as we change the
world again.
If you find a small
group of people who
want to join but their
time or commitments
make
it
difficult,
consider forming them
into a club satellite.
When you combine meaningful service and have a welcoming
environment, you’re guaranteed to have a successful membership drive.
For help and ideas on running a successful membership drive, check out
some of the webinars on related topics and download the membership
drive planning guide.
You can find the webinar schedule at: www.KiwanisOne.org/webinars;
and the guide at: www.KiwanisOne.org/membership.
Remember, service is our fuel for growth. So let’s light the organization
on fire!

Apology
I want to apologise to the Fathers of the Club for inadvertently
omitting to wish them Happy Fathers Day last week. As you
might have realised, I had to reduce the size of the bulletin because
of time. I hope you had a Blessed, Wonderful and Enjoyable Day.
I do not want the fathers to think preference is being given to the
mothers.
P.S. to the S-o-A: I know this will cost me!!! LOL

Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in the body. The body needs some
cholesterol in order to function properly. Its cell walls, or membranes,
need cholesterol in order to produce hormones, vitamin D, and the bile
acids that help to digest fat. But, the body needs only a small amount of
cholesterol to meet its needs. When too much is present health problems
such as heart disease may develop.
Cholesterol travels through the blood attached to a protein -- this
cholesterol-protein package is called a lipoprotein. Lipoproteins are
classified as high density, low density, or very low density, depending
on how much protein there is in relation to fat.

Low density lipoproteins (LDL): LDL, also called "bad" cholesterol,
can cause buildup of plaque on the walls of arteries. The more LDL
there is in the blood, the greater the risk of heart disease.

High density lipoproteins (HDL): HDL, also called "good"
cholesterol, helps the body get rid of bad cholesterol in the blood.
The higher the level of HDL cholesterol, the better. If your levels of
HDL are low, your risk of heart disease increases.

Very low density lipoproteins (VLDL): VLDL is similar to LDL
cholesterol in that it contains mostly fat and not much protein.

Triglycerides: Triglycerides are another type of fat that is carried in
the blood by very low density lipoproteins. Excess calories, alcohol,
or sugar in the body are converted into triglycerides and stored in fat
cells throughout the body.
Your blood test report will show your cholesterol levels in milligrams
per decilitre of blood (mg/dL). The total number is based on the levels of
LDL, HDL and triglyceride. People with high cholesterol are at risk of
getting heart disease. This can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Only about
25% of cholesterol comes from the foods you eat. The other 75% is made
by the body. Cholesterol levels tend to rise as you get older.
Unfortunately, there are usually no signs that you have high cholesterol.
But it can be detected with a blood test. These tests can also help your
doctor predict what your risk for heart disease may be.

EXECUTIVE PERSPECTIVE
Stan Soderstrom
Kiwanis, Executive Director
Being an international organization means more than dealing with clubs in
more than 80 nations. It means producing much of our communications into
at least eight languages, and it means converting dollars and euros into
numerous other currencies—all of which fluctuate on a daily basis. It means
realizing that international telephone dialling Internet calls are everyday
necessity, that not all cell phones work in all nations and that 3 p.m. on April
25 in Indianapolis is 4:30 a.m., April 26, in Adelaide, Australia.
It means being sensitive to preferences surrounding food, sports, family,
education, religion, language, business practices, holidays and customs.
Most of all, it means seeing how many versions of Kiwanis community
service our clubs can create. The exciting thing is, the sun never sets on
Kiwanis service. Twenty-four hours a day, a Kiwanis club somewhere is
serving.
This month, we share three inspiring stories of Kiwanians who reach beyond
their own nation and make a difference to the world community.
Netherlands Kiwanian Lou Cuypers (page 20) is in the middle of one of the
world’s hot spots, trying to solve the illegal drug problem at its source. He
helps farmers in Afghanistan learn new techniques so they can move away
from growing poppies—a major source of heroin in the world. His work has
grown into opening a school for girls, planting orchards and creating
stability in a fragile, recovering economy.
Arizona Kiwanians Danny and Pam Spitler (page 14) turned a US$300
investment for a water well in Cambodia into an organization that built and
operates a school for more than 500 students. In Illinois, Kiwanian Rich
Rosenberg (page 24) engaged his local Key Club and has collected thousands
of shoes for children in Tanzania.
We hope you’re inspired to know what other Kiwanis members are doing in
all parts of the globe. I know we who work for you at Kiwanis International
are impressed every day by your good works—at home and around the
world.

Plain View
Clorox Vs Peroxide
This was purportedly written by Becky Ransey of Indiana, the wife of a doctor
with over 36 years in the medical field. Here are some everyday ways peroxide
can be used instead of bleach:
1.
Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in
your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe.) No
more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes.
Use it instead of mouthwash.
2.
Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs.
3.
Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a
fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it
on the counters.
4.
After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill
salmonella and other bacteria.
5.
I had fungus on my feet for years until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide
and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.
6.
Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several
times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any
medicine but was healed by soaking in peroxide.
7.
Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in
every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach
or most other disinfectants will.
8.
Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture
whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the
bacteria. Hold for a few minutes, and then blow your nose into a tissue.
9.
If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a
capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several
times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50
solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not
have the peroxide-burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages but more
natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, reddish, or dirty blonde. It
also lightens gradually, so it's not a drastic change.

Human and Spiritual Values Corner
Solidly on your way
You may be tired, or discouraged, or frustrated, or uncomfortable. No
matter what, your best option is to move positively forward. Hanging
on to past disappointments will only hold you back. Taking comfort in
being a victim gives you no real comfort at all. Staying safe by never
venturing out, by never taking risks, is the riskiest thing you can do.
Because it guarantees that you won't get anything accomplished. It takes
effort to move forward, as well as courage and determination.
Fortunately, you are filled with courage and determination, and you are
able to make whatever effort you choose. Yes, you may feel some fear
and trepidation, yet courage is not the lack of fear. Your courage gives
you the ability to feel your fear, to listen to what it has to say, to allow it
to prepare you, and to move ahead. You know what you desire and you
know why you desire it. Set your sights on the goal, and know that
you're solidly on your way toward its achievement.
-- Ralph Marston

There is a factory in Essex which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy
laughs when you tickle it under the arms. Well, Shelley is hired at The
Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00
am. The next day at 8:45 am there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's
door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the
new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole
line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule.
The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2
men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so
backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and
they're really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line stands Shelley
surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has a roll of plush
Red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men watch in
amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two
marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's
legs. The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes
of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Shelley. 'I'm sorry,'
he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, 'but I think you
misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday...' 'Your job is to
give Elmo two test tickles.
A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he
was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a
note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10
times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our
trespasses." When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer
along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give
you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation."
While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage.
The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humour, because
attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy
efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust."
17
KIWANIS CODE OF ETHICS
To recognize God as the Supreme Ruler and to abide by his
immutable laws.
To endeavour to perfect myself in my chosen occupation, and
to use it to the best of my ability as an opportunity to serve
others.
To conduct my business or profession on a high ethical plane,
so that others emulating my example will help to raise the
standards of the vocation in which I am engaged.
To maintain the spirit of fairness in competition, and help
eradicate all forms of deception that violates the spirit of the
law.
To exert my influence to provide equal opportunity for the
wellbeing of mankind.
To promote harmony in everyday contacts, realizing that
happiness is one of the major objectives of life, and that
happiness depends more on the way we meet the events of life
than on the events themselves.
To improve relations between employer and employee,
recognizing that tolerance, intelligence, and justice are the
common ground on which all disputes should be settled.
To exemplify good citizenship in appreciation of the fact that
the strength of the nation depends upon the calibre of its
individual citizens.

OBJECTS OF KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL
To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of
life.
To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and
professional standards.
To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and
serviceable citizenship.
To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring
friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.
To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high
idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism,
and goodwill.
What is Kiwanis?
Kiwanis International was founded January 21, 1915 in Detroit, Michigan, by
Allen Simpson Brown, a moose lodge organizer and Joseph G.Prance, a
tailor. It is an organization devoted to the principle of service to the
advancement of individual, community and national welfare and to the
strengthening of international goodwill. Since it was founded, it has
expanded into a family of service clubs worldwide.
If you believe children are the future, take pride in your community and enjoy
meeting new people then Kiwanis is the place for you. Kiwanis members
have an opportunity to improve communities one child at a time, build
enduring friendships, better the lives of children, participate in fun and
fellowship, sharpen leadership skills, develop business contacts, and attain
a greater appreciation of their own talents and successes. A Kiwanis club is
organised around a core membership of selected service-minded men and
women who reflect the community profile. Prospective members are invited
to join by existing members.
