Kiwanian, Dr. Glen Kleine, helped to set up an exchange
program between the Liaoning Institute of Technology and Eastern
Kentucky University and more than 20 students have participated
in this exchange program. "Rachel" and "Victoria"
was the program for the Kiwanis club the prior week - so the Kiwanians
invited them to join them for the potluck. They brought two Chinese
dishes as part of the potluck.
With elections just around the corner - and heat at
its peak - Earl Ray Neal's mother distributed fans to the crowd.

performance for the crowd
An assortment of unusual instruments were used by the
band.
The leader of the he Juggernaut Jug Band encouraged
audience participation throughout the performance.
The weekly band performances are an opportunity for
entire families to attend the concert. And it is a great opportunity
for children to meet new friends and to play in the park. Kiwanians
feels that this type of activity is consistent with its primary
goal - "Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated
to changing the world, one child and one community at a time.
