Read All About It!
Well…what do you think? The newsletter has a new look. It’s also in transition. After 17 years of generating the newsletter, Dave Guldin is handing it off to Rhonda Seneker. Dave has done a remarkable job in keeping the club informed with creativity and with passion. Dave takes on so many responsibilities for the club that he is relieved that he can place the newsletter assignment in capable hands so he can focus on his other tasks. Please thank Dave for 17 years of commitment of keeping us informed. Also, please welcome Rhonda in her new role. Please send any articles you want considered for the newsletter to: [email protected]
As you can see, the top of the newsletter looks bare. The newsletter needs a name. I favor “The Lenawee Civitan”, but I want your recommendations. Please email me your suggestions or to any of the board members. We will vote on it at the next board meeting.
I am writing this column during the Memorial Day weekend. On Memorial Day, we will pay tribute to the men and women who lost their lives in the service of our armed forces. I also want to remember the Civitan members who died this year. Rest in peace, Sandy Keener and Marilyn Gossman. Sandy and Marilyn served our community well.
MY HEART beats for every friend, bleeds for every injury to humanity, and throbs with joy at every triumph of truth.

Happy Birthday to you!
I’ve decided I’m not old. I’m 25 plus shipping and handling!
In Our Thoughts & PrayersSadly, we said goodbye to member Marilyn Gossman on May 3, 2017. She was a 28-year member and chaired the HOPE Valentine and Halloween dances for many years. She will be missed. Sympathies go to her family, including Civitan member and daughter, Gale Sayler. May Marilyn rest in peace.

I Am CivitanI AM CIVITAN: as old as life, as young as the rainbow, as endless as time. MY HANDS do the work of the world and reach out in service to others. MY EARS hear the cry of children and the call throughout the world for peace, guidance, progress and unity. MY EYES search for others to join in the fellowship and service of Civitan. MY MOUTH utters the call to daily duty and speaks prayers in every tongue. MY MIND teaches me respect for law and the flag of my country. MY HEART beats for every friend, bleeds for every injury to humanity and throbs with joy at every triumph of truth. MY SOUL knows no fear but its own unworthiness. MY HOPE is for a better world through Civitan. MY MOTTO: builders of good citizenship. MY BELIEF: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. MY PLEDGE: to practice the Golden Rule and to build upon it a better and nobler citizenship.
My Hands Do the Work of the World AND
Reach Out In Service to Others.
