President accomplishes goals
Kiwanis South President, Zelma Daisley, proudly announced that she was able to accomplish the goals she set out to undertake during her presidency of the year 2016-2017.
Her comment came as she addressed the club during the President’s Awards ceremony, which took place at Southern Palms Beach Club on Tuesday night.
“As I stand at the podium this evening, I remember the words that I said October 1st, 2016, at the Installation ceremony and October 4th at the President’s Conference and I am proud to say that I was able to live up to the meaning of the acronym – PRESIDENT, that I shared with you at the Installation ceremony, and I did fulfil three of my goals for the year 2016-2017,” she said.
Daisley commended her members for being extra supportive during her presidency and for allowing her job to feel less like a job, as she was able to have fun leading the club and interacting with all committee members and chairpersons.
She revealed that the South Club had an extremely busy year as they “hit the ground running” on October 22 with a project at a day nursery for the Kiwanis One Day Project. She noted that they attained their success to the 20 Ks that were on the job that day.
Additionally, she believed that the annual Independence hampers was the project with the best preparation as they were able to pack all of the hampers in two hours and get them distributed in a timely and efficient manner.
“The Blood Drive in January 2017, a new project front by us, was also successful and took about five hours. Thank you fellow Ks, the public and the Caribbean Broadcasting Co-operation for making this blood drive a success. We were able to donate over 40 pints of blood this year,” she beamed.
Daisley also commended the dedication of the drivers of the YWCA Breakfast and the YWCA Thursday and Sunday feedings through the hotels. She noted that because of their efficiency and consistency, they were able to continuously provide this service to those in need; and for that, she was extremely grateful.
