A weekly inspiration, courtesy of the Kiwanis Club of Scotts Valley

Since 1995 the Scotts Valley Kiwanis Club has distributed weekly inspirational email  In addition to individual recipients it is posted to the website of several clubs. Rosemead Kiwanis is happy to be included in that group; we are also pleased to carry the project one step further -- archiving the weekly posts for future reference and comfort.

In this collection certain dispatches have tended to strike a special emotional chord with your Webmaster.  These have been specially marked (*).
