Susie Broome and Susie Billings (the Susies) worked with Maura Hutchinson at St. Michael's in the cafeteria when she was the manager of the school cafeteria. They invited her to tell Kiwanis about her Irish heritage.<br />
<br />
Maura's father and mother came to New York in the United States where Maura was born, a dual citizen of both countries. The returned to Ireland after some time where Maura finished her education. She became a Social worker and then moved to Indianapolis, and eventually to Greenfield.

The Greenfield-Central Key Club assembled birthday bags at their meeting to donate to the Hancock County Food Pantry. Michelle Marler and her students are shown with their birthday bags. A birthday bag contains cake mix, icing, candles and plates for making children's birthday cakes. The Hancock County Food Pantry distributes the bags to families who have registered their children aged 12 and younger so that all children can have a birthday cake.Greenfield Kiwanishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04488402035267830393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163203316076162114.post-43424364535090208362020-02-25T18:11:00.000-08:002020-02-25T18:13:13.556-08:00Meals on Wheels<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Lynda Kosh has been Executive Director of Meals on Wheels since May, 2019 spoke to Kiwanis about the program. Kiwanis provides drivers for a route each Tuesday<br />
<br />
In 2019 Meals on Wheels (MOW) delivered 25,000 meals in Hancock County. The program started in Hancock County in 2001. 70-81 people are served each weekday and 48 receive weekend meals.<br />
It is hoped that the number of nutrition related hospital visits can be reduced by providing meals on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
Along with the meal delivery the volunteers reduce social isolation by providing someone to visit with the clients. The delivery also allows the volunteers to assure that the client is able to answer the door to receive the meal.<br />
<br />
2 meals, one hot and one cold can be delivered each day for $7.50 or $5.00 for the hot meal only. Subsidies based on income are available, 55% of the clients are on a subsidy. The meals are prepared and packed at the hospital. Service is provided to Shirley and Wilkinson 3 days a week.<br />
There are no age restrictions for Meals on Wheels. Currently the youngest client is 29 years old. Doctors can write a script for meals that meet dietary restrictions.<br />
<br />
The program is supported by United Way and fundraising.

Sally Parsons spoke to Greenfield Kiwanis about the history and purpose of Regreening of Greenfield. Regreening attempts to keep the tree canopy of the City of Greenfield attractive, healthy and growing by planting, trimming, watering, and mulching trees in the tree plots of the city. In addition they distribute free trees and planting advice.<br />
<br />
Regreening was established during Mayor Keith McClarnon's administration with the leadership of Marciann McClarnon and her classroom students. Since then thousands of trees have been inventoried, planted, pruned and watered in the city. Sally noted that trees are a part of the city infrastructure providing not only beauty but erosion control and storm water retention. <br />
<br />
Sally noted that in addition to the Emerald Ash borer which is devastating ash trees and their relatives there are three new threats to trees:<br />
<ol>
<li>The Asian longhorn beetle which damages maple family trees, birches, Ohio buckeyes, elms and horse chestnut.</li>
<li>Spotted Lantern fly which damages trees when they feed sucking sap from stems and branches. </li>
<li>Thousand cankers disease which attacks the Walnut family,</li>
</ol>
Google these to see pictures for identification, If you suspect you see them report them to Purdue at ReportINvasive.com.<br />
<br />
She also noted that many trees die as a result of volcano mulching which enourages moisture around the base of the tree above the root line. <br />
<br />
Regreening needs volunteers to help them with their work. Adults and high school age students can find volunteer opportunities at their Facebook page. They also need funds to help them with a matching grant they received to inventory trees. <br />

Mason Miller, 11 year old student at Maxwell Intermediate School, amazed the Kiwanis club with his Yo Yo skills on Tuesday. Mason is a member of K-Kids, Student Council and the Hancock County Children's Choir. He is also the founder of the Yo Yo Club.<br />
<br />
Mason became interested in Yo Yo's when he was playing Trivial Pursuit and a question about Yo Yo tricks got hiom interested in the sport. Mason is self taught on the 17 Yo Yo's he owns. He watches the tricks and techniques on You Tube and then practices. His skills amazed the club members as he "walked the dog" and performed "the Eiffel Tower."<br />
The YoYo Club was started in December with 9 members at the first meeting. Mason had obtained 15 Basic Yo Yo's from the Yo Yo Factory, a manufacturer who wants to promote the sport. The next club meeting will be February 1 at 11:30 am at Hometown Comics,<br />

Tom Graham, a former realtor, shared his story telling ability with three stories. The first was based on the experience of Jay Thomas when he was radio DJ in California and did a remote that involved Clayton Moore, the Lone Ranger. The second story was of based on the recollections of a friend on the occasion of his visit to a reformatory to deliver Christmas food. The third was a personal story of how his father won a bet on his racoon hunting dog.<br />

Kiwanis has been staffing the Santa's House since before 2004 when Tom Billings took over as the chairman of the Santa Clause House on the Court House Square. Tom named many of the Santa's helpers from Kiwanis including Bob Gullion, Jim Polise and Dan Riley. Other non-Kiwanians have also helped. <br />
<br />
Dan Riley discussed different aspects of the role of Santa's Helper and related personal stories from the past 10 years he has worked. He also acknowledged elves who assisted that included Tom Billings and members of his family, Pat Kohne, Steve Emmons, Kathy Brackman, and Marilyn Derrickson. <br />

Amber Miller of the Riley Children's Foundation told Kiwanis about her experience as a Riley mom and about the Kiwanis partnership with the Hospital,<br />
<br />
Amber's daughter, Cassidy, has been a Riley patient three times in the past 19 months, Cassidy was recently treated at the hospital for croup. Amber stayed at the hospital and used the Kiwanis Parent Komfort Kart (indkiw.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Parent-Cart-Flyer.pdf). She noted the cart needs volunteers as well as supplies such as travel size deodorants, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap and shampoo. She noted they are currently out of blankets, fuzzy socks, and chocolate.<br />
<br />
The hospital has a 300 bed capacity and is currently at capacity, The Newborn Intensive Care Unit has 60 cribs and is consistently at capacity.<br />
<br />
Kiwanis raised money for Riley before the hospital opened in 1924, and has been supporting it ever since. The result is the hospital's K-Wing, Kiwanis Courtyard, Helipad, Helicopter, Elevator, Torch, Red Wagon Corral, Mobile Intensive Care Unit, and the Komfort Cart.<br />
<br />
The Hospital and Foundation are currently engaged in a fundraising campaign to raise $175 million by 2020. This will fund Pediatric Research and Care, Maternity and New Born Health, and Family Support Programs.<br />

Fire Cadets provided gear for Fire Gear races. Mozzi Pizza provided Pizza for the last day of Camp. <br />
Activities included making tie dye shirts, swinging, jump rope, making bird houses, walking through the woods Ga Ga Pit (like dodge ball), creating a banner with hand painting. Programs on recycling and reuse were provided. A birder presented a program on bird identification. <br />
The actual cost per student is $100. Each student's cost is $70 without any scholarships. Scholarships are provided on a need basis. Kiwanis is a sponsor.
