Recent club updates… 1. Nancy has agreed to be the Lieutenant Governor for Division 6 2020-2021, congrats Nancy! 2. This past week we have offered support for our health care workers at St. Joseph Mercy Chelsea. The hospital will run a Stress Free Zone for at least the next four weeks. The Zone will feature aromatherapy, snacks, and other stress relieving items. Gift cards for front line workers will also be purchased. 3. The club has approved purchasing a subscription for Learning Ally, a program students can use via the internet to improve reading skills. South Meadows Elementary will determine eligibility for their students to participate. This should help the children now, when in person learning is temporarily halted. 4. Our club is continuing to support CHS with our annual scholarship funds “The very greatest things – great thoughts, discoveries, inventions – have usually been nurtured in hardship, often pondered over in sorrow, and at length established with difficulty.” – Samuel Smiles Many thanks to Lisa Allmendinger for her April 4th article “Hip, hip hooray for frozen Chelsea Kiwanis Club hotdogs”; https://chelseaupdate
