Kiwanis Clubs

Sid and I attended a Kiwanis club meeting at lunchtime today. We are hoping that it will count towards our training requirement. The speaker owns a local Chik-fil-A franchise. He was very entertaining and everyone was very welcoming. Lunch was pretty good too. They start their meetings with a few songs, it was reminiscent of church hymns but the songs were: My Country tis of Thee, Take Me Out to the Ballgame, and Sing, Sing A Song. We lowered the median age in the room by a fair margin and got the full court membership press from half a dozen of the regulars. I don't know that we'll go back unless it counts for a full hour of training, but it made for a nice change of pace.

Sounds rather fun.

What type of training are you doing/ hoping it counts toward?

We are required to have 30 hours each of training to keep our Foster Parent's license current. There are some required classes kie CPR/First Aid and Principals of Management of Aggressive Behavior that we do every year. The rest is made of up of Parenting classes, saftey training, stress reduction.... it can get pretty creative.
