AED’s
– Ira Snyder – A presentation was made to the Jefferson Parish
School Board on Wednesday February 4th with a check to cover
the cost of 2 AED’s that will be placed in local schools.
During
a presentation ceremony at the February 4 meeting of the Jefferson Parish
Public School Board meeting, Ira Snyder, President of the Kenner North
Kiwanis explains to the Board why the club was donating two Automated
External Defibrillators to the school system.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest just doesn’t
affect adults, it affects about 7000 children each year including student
athletes. The bottom line is
that with an AED, a life may be saved.
The Louisiana-Mississipi-West Tennessee Kiwanis District challenged
its clubs to place an AED in each school in the District.
With the generosity of the sponsors of the Kenner North Kiwanis
Club and the proceeds from the annual golf tournament we were able to
purchase two AED’s and hope to purchase a third before the end of the
year. The AED’s will be
placed in the athletic departments at East Jefferson and Bonnabel High
Schools.
JPPSS Board Member Libby Moran pointed
out that AED’s were used to save the lives of two individuals in the
school system—one employee and one student and the entire Board thanked
the Kiwanis for their support.

SPECIAL PERSONS PICNIC:
Each
Year Kenner North Kiwanis host a picnic for some of our special friends. This
year we gathered with our friends, our fellow club members, our family

"MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER WALK" 
It
was a great day. The sun was out. We all had our game faces on, taking
on what is possibly one of the world’s greatest challenges. We were up
for it though. Joining forces with what had to be thousands, along
Lakeshore drive in New Orleans, the Key Club was well represented by the
John Curtis and Crescent City Christian Key Clubs. Numbering 20 Key
Clubbers strong we walked the good walk. As Angelique would say, “that
went pretty quick for ten miles. In reality it was 5 km, 3.1 miles for
you non-metrics. Many dollars were raised this day to fight a huge
battle against an enemy whose welcome was worn out long ago. ***********************************************************************************************************
