Hello Everyone,

Our speaker tomorrow is Laykenn Kennedy with Faith Works.  She will discuss overdose prevention, recognition, and response training. Fentanyl, as we know, is a leading substance and becoming more and more known in our area. For some, it’s not just in our area, but also within our homes. How can we use a harm reduction approach to improve health, increase safety, and reduce risks? Narcan is one way. Many have never heard of it or may have and aren’t sure what it is. With Narcan, you can save a life.

Thank you to our speakers last week, D’Ann Waters and Debbie Braff with the Don’t Meth With Us Program.  It was great to see and hear what the program looks like that has been presented to approximately 35,000 5th graders in San Juan County and Northern Navajo Nation.  Big shout out to everyone involved in this program and they take their time each year to discuss this with our youth!

Dining With the Dead is almost sold out! Tickets will be gone by this weekend; this is really early to sell out! 

Thank you to our wonderful guests that came last week!

If you have a speaker you’d like to schedule for Kiwanis, look at the Calendar of Events to see what dates are open. Confirm with Jill that date is available and book them. Your interest is appreciated. 

Please keep these upcoming dates in mind. 

We are expecting a Kiwanis full house with several guests attending on September 12th for Author Ann Hillerman’s presentation. 

As a special favor would each of you respond to Jill if you plan to attend and if you are inviting guests who will attend with you.  We’ve never had a famous author speak at our meeting and we want to make sure members have a seat. Also, Alycia with No Worries, said she would need to set the room up a special way to accommodate a large group. Amy, with Amy’s bookstore, will have a table selling Ann’s books if anyone would like to purchase one or more. Ann is Tony Hillerman’s daughter. Alycia also mentioned advance lunch orders would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks to Gary Hansen for arranging for Ann Hillerman to speak to Kiwanis. Jill: jmcq2@yahoo.com
