KIWANIS THANKS OUR SPEAKER Bill German, a visiting Kiwanian from the Keystone Heights Kiwanis Club, was hosted by Bill Montgomery. Incidentally, he said he had attended the installation ceremony of the Beaches Club with Ish Brant back in the 1940s. Heavenly Father: Help us to forget our errors and blunders, for tomorrow is another day when we can begin anew. Help us to focus on what we can do and how we can apply our abilities to help others. Give us long- range goals to keep us from being frustrated by short-range failure. And now bless this food to our use and us to Your service.
